Primo podio in carriera nella 450SX per Sexton, Roczen in affanno
Ottima prestazione per la seconda guida del Team HRC Usa che ad atlanta 1 ha perso la vittoria a pochi metri dal traguardo. Gara da dimenticare in fretta per Ken Roczen costretto agli straordinari dopo una collisione avvenuta in partenza. Ecco le loro parole:
Chase Sexton: “Atlanta 1 started off good. I qualified second, which put me in the first heat. Then it rained for about four hours, so they canceled the second qualifying; I certainly wanted to go out there, get a warm-up on the track and see what it was like. I came from around 10th in the heat race and finished third; I felt like I rode well. Going into the main event I told myself, ‘Get a good start and you could win this race.’ I got a really good start and put down solid laps. I passed Cooper [Webb], and then AP [Aaron Plessinger] ended up going down, which gave me the lead. From there on, I just told myself, ‘This is this is your shot; you’ve got to go and take it,’ and I rode my heart out. I put a lot of effort in that race and obviously came up a little short when Eli ended up getting me with a lap to go, which was unfortunate. It gives me a lot of motivation though, for the rest of these races. Now that I have a taste of what I can do out front, I’m looking forward to round two here in Atlanta and will try and get that top spot.”

Ken Roczen: “Atlanta 1 was a tough one. I really messed up on the start and then [Justin] Barcia crashed in front of me. I got caught up in his bike, so I had nowhere to go and ended up dead last. I wasn’t feeling myself all day and ultimately didn’t feel good. I finished in ninth place, which is the last thing we needed at the moment, but all I can do is go out there and try my best. I’m going to forget about this past weekend, move on, and see what we can do on Tuesday. I’m looking to bounce back, get a good start and hopefully finish somewhere on the podium so that we don’t get too far back in points. As of right now, I just keep losing too many points, which is not ideal, but I’m just going to keep my head high and do some work with the team, try some new settings and see what we can do.”
