Supercross Indianapolis 1 commenti dei piloti
Ken Roczen: “I’ve just had huge motivation to win in general, it had nothing to do with the last couple of rounds,. It got hyped up more and more, which is to be expected, it was a big deal, but I was over it and had moved on well before everyone had stopped talking about it. I just wanted to win, that’s all. I’m just trying my hardest, but I’m not getting on this “I’ve had seconds and firsts so I’m the guy now.” I’m just trying to put the ego aside and just enjoy the process.”
Eli Tomac: “The start there was cool, hell of a race for both of us. We both made our mistakes, and he schooled me in that sweeper. I was sleeping on that one, I gave it away on the outside. That was one of the best races of my career, to battle like that, it was really exciting. I’d love to be on top, but that was fun and we’ll get them next week.”
Cooper Webb: “It was weird, my start was really good, Joey came out like a rocket ship, he braked gnarly and Eli came around us on the outside. I got bottled up behind him, and ended up going back to fifth, then I made a mistake in a rhythm and went back. Early on I saw who was out front and I was like, “Shit, track position is key.” I was trying to get around and I started making little mistakes trying to force things. I kind of took a deep breath and calmed down and accepted those guys being out there and out front. I knew if I could get Ferrandis or Savatgy a fourth would be there, and if someone would make a mistake we would be good. Adam ended up going down and that kinda made third more reachable. Yeah, like the guys are saying, it’s track position right now, and it wasn’t great for those two laps.”

Colt Nichols: “I was able to kind of keep tabs on those guys, I was trying to manage the race from the front. I could see Jett closing on Christian at times, and I heard the crowd going crazy as I went across the finish, and I knew they weren’t cheering for me! Overall I was happy to be out front away from the drama. Definitely made my life a lot easier. I knew Christian was behind me, that was comforting, I knew he wasn’t going to do anything that crazy. Felt good.”
Michael Mosiman: ““I didn’t want to say anything, or just use words, I just wanted to show it with my actions,. “I wasn’t gung-ho “I gotta take this guy down” but an opportunity presented itself. Crowd went nuts! It was fun and the team was amped, and I think Jett and I are cool, he gets it, we first bumped at the end of the night. Clean night, better start and I was with Christian and Colt out of the gate. I made two mistakes on lap five or so. I haven’t seen the Star guys all year, but there was a time where I was actually settled in behind Christian, and I was like “Wait I should pass him!” Big progress tonight, Jett really put it to us tonight and really came through. There’s more speed out there, I just have to find it lap by lap.”
Jo Shimoda: “It wasn’t really a podium, because Jett went around me, he was riding really good tonight and Christian was ahead of me, too. So it ended up being a podium, but the next time I get a podium, I want to get a podium myself.”
Jett Lawrence: “I had a really rough start, neutral off the start, and on the wall jump I stalled and I was an idiot for that. I thought I could get Christian in that last corner, we came together and I wasn’t too phased but we got tangled up and I couldn’t go. I put my heart into these last two rounds and it sucks that it ends up like that.”
