Championships, Challenges and Character For Yamalube Schrader’s SMX Racing Women’s National rider Denaye Giroux, it was and it wasn’t the finish she was looking for. The first moto of the final round of the Women’s National in Edmonton had to be the most exciting race this season, bar none! Denaye came roaring out of the gate with the hole shot and didn’t look back. She couldn’t, as there was a field of 40 women looking to hunt her down. Series leader Haily Larson quickly made her way through the pack as her perfect record was on the line. “I knew Haily was on me very quickly,” said Denaye. “I was determined that there was no way she was getting around me this time!”
