Kenny rode well in the first two races, and we were battling out there. I found my rhythm in the last couple of races, and everything just clicked. The energy from the Vancouver crowd was incredible, and I\u2019m looking forward to the next round in Perth,\u201d said Tomac. The Yamaha rider secured holeshots in two heat races and the superfinal.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_10899\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]<img class=\"size-large wp-image-10899\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2024-WSX-SX-2-Podium-1024x709.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"443\" \/> Shane McElrath took the SX2 overall win at the opening round of WSX.
