Round two of the Triple Crown AX Tour moved into Calgary, Alberta last weekend for some good racing. We saw plenty of bar banging, paint swapping and Christmas card lists got shortened. In contrast to the previous weekend we had more of a dry track that offered up it's share of roost and slick sections. Crowd numbers seemed low but we can be sure that heading east we will see more spectating for rounds three and four. Let's take a look at the action from Calgary.

Look for good things to come for young Tyler Gibbs in his rookie pro year as he gains experience every weekend.

Vison was key with that Calgary roost.

Seth Wilkins would finish 3rd in Supermini.
Shelby Turner would take 2nd in Women's.
Time for some 450 laps.
Shelby Turner also lined up in the Intermediate class where she took 6th place.

Tyler Gibbs was second off the start in 250 Heat #2. He went down hard but came back swinging and grabbed 5th. He ended up taking 7th overall.
Talan Hansen took a 6th in his heat and rounded out his night with 10th overall.
Marco Cannella kept it consistent for his heat and earned a respectable 3rd.
Davey Fraser would take 4th in his heat.
Luke Renzland had a descent start in his heat race and worked his way around Naudit for second. He was riding the tail of Ryder Floyd the remainder of the race and the two tangled and both went down. Renzland was able to remount and took the heat win.

450 Heat #1 Nicoletti was second off the start. He wasn't able to catch Thompson and would have to settle for 2nd in that heat.
Maffenbeier went down in the first corner and slid things into 3rd place for the rest of the moto.
In the 450 Heat #2, Cade Clason was about 4th off the start. Earlier reports suggested that he struggled during practice but managed to find his rhythm during the evening show. He would take 3rd place in his heat.

In the 250 Main, Luke Renzland goes down in the first lap with Tyler Medaglia which put him back. He managed to finish with a 5th place.
This was a good night for Marco Cannella, in the 250 Main he pulled some pretty aggressive passes that put him up to 2nd where he would finish for the night.
