Supercross San Diego Le dichiarazioni dei protagonisti
Chase Sexton, Honda HRC: “I still can’t believe, it, honestly. This is a dream come true, I’ve come close so many times. Didn’t make any mistakes and finally got it done. Like I said, dream come true. After all the hard stuff I went through last year, to get to this point this year is unbelievable. We did a lot of hard work on the bike this week with Honda. I was at the test track until 4 p.m. testing, and it paid off. Looking forward to going back to work, and to getting another one of these. It’s addicting.”
Eli Tomac, Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha: “Yeah, so nice to get a good start, I just feel like I was able to be in the game this time. I came around the outside there. I watched that 250 race and I was like, “I’ve got a good gate pick and I want to sweep that outside and it paid off.” I was trying, Chase was riding a great pace at the front, so was Jason, obviously he had a little mishap. Just felt good to be up front tonight and improve the starts. We’re getting going and we’re getting better every weekend.”
Dylan Ferrandis, Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha: “We worked on the bike especially on the start, to improve. The better start helped me a lot, we just showed what we are capable of on the track with a good start. Two bikes on the podium is what we can do. I think we were a little bit surprised how bad we were at A1 with the starts. Tonight, was much better for Eli and myself but we know we need to work more to get consistent good starts.”
Cooper Webb, Red Bull KTM: “It’s not too bad, it was a struggle today to say the least, practice didn’t go great. We fought hard that whole main event and gave it everything we had. We’re only one point out and I can’t complain about that, but I didn’t feel good last week, and I didn’t perform very well. We’ve got some work to do on the motorcycle and myself. I’m happy with where we are in the points, but we need to get going, no doubt.”
Christian Craig, Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha:“There’s nothing worse than laying in the first turn with your head in the ground. I just had to dig deep, and my heart came out tonight. I dug deep from turn one until that checkered flag and I’m really thankful to be up here [on the podium]. I heard the crowd all night and to do that in my hometown was so special.”
Michael Mosiman,Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS: “I’ve been riding a lot with Justin Barcia. It felt like a day at the test track, with him right on me. I put in a few burner laps, and then I didn’t see Hunter Lawrence or hear him. I didn’t know he was right there. Then I saw his board and I was like, “Okay, it’s about to get going.” One of the things I’ve been working on here is to just stay present. The lappers were pretty tough. I think I did the dragon’s back to the extreme inside, then just got barely up into fourth gear to get into the whoops. Then Jalek Swoll was not letting me by easy. Then he was right back on me.”
Hunter Lawrence, Honda HRC: “I was just trying to let the race come to me. I didn’t take into account how bad the lappers were going to be. Maybe I could have forced the issue earlier, but coulda woulda shoulda.”
