(October 28, 2025) | Paso Robles, CA — We have a winner in the first annual Beta Ironman Fantasy Challenge. In the first year of this event, Ryan Large won the overall prize. Large correctly ranked five out of the nine Beta riders in the morning race against each other. There were nearly 100 entries into the Fantasy challenge, with a total pot of $1700 that will be split between Ryan & Road 2 Recovery. Congratulations Ryan!
The race itself was very competitive between the Beta riders. Right from the start, Zane was first into the woods with a questionable holeshot. There was some debate among the team about whether his engine was on just before the flag dropped. Nonetheless, the racing was tight with some bumping and paint trading as the riders jockeyed for position. Zach, Zane, and Carlen were all close throughout the race, swapping positions as they raced each other.
Then on the fourth lap, Brayden Nolette turned it on and flew past Carlen and Zane, but couldn’t quite catch Zach. With the wheel-to-wheel racing and hard charging over the two-hour race, the top five Beta riders all finished within five minutes of each other, with the top three riders within 40 seconds of one another. The former SX champion, Zach Osborne, finished second in class and first among the Beta riders with a strong effort on his Beta 450 RX. (View the complete Ironman GNCC race coverage HERE)
