Supercross Minneapoli Le dichiarazioni dei protagonisti
Jason Anderson, Monster Energy Kawasaki: “It was hard to make up time, and I feel like to make up time you’re on the edge and a couple of times I was taking more risk than I wanted to. Obviously you want to win but you want a good result for the long game. Chase was riding really well and I just wanted to stay close unless something happened and it did.”
Cooper Webb, Red Bull KTM: “I got to give it up to the team they came up with a package that helped me quite a bit. It was good to go back to Florida a bit, felt a bit more homey, being from the east coast. Going back after crap results out west, clear head, new tracks, new people. “The Man’ (Roger De Coster) came up with it. Rog went to work, I didn’t get to try it all week, I tried it today. I felt better today. Our old bike, I gelled so well, I felt like it was built for me in supercross. You’re learning non stop, we race on so many soils and dirt. You think it (new bike) works so well, then you struggle. There’s a lot man. There’s a lot of noise and it can really effect you, maybe it does maybe it doesn’t. You need to not doubt yourself and maybe I started to go down that road and second guess things. It’s tough, our sport is up and down and can throw a lot at you. Just never give up and keep fighting the whole way.”
Marvin Musquin, Red Bull KTM: “I changed nothing. I felt like at Glendale I had the possibility to get on the podium and I went down, and last week too. It’s been a little crazy but I’ve been enjoying it, to be honest. Today I felt like the speed was good, the track was really tough and technical. I didn’t get a good start in the main, I don’t know how but I made it happen in the first few corners. I kind of lost ground when I was behind Cooper, then Mookie went down and I had to roll the triple when he went down because they turned the light on. To get a podium tonight, they’re tough to get so I’m happy, but a little disappointed with the second half of my main event.”

250
Jett Lawrence, HRC: “I was kind of managing it a little bit. That one rhythm especially on the 250 it was really hard to get the transition on the triples. I would look back and be like “Dammit! Still see green! Boys were keeping me honest. I love it. We got into this sport due to close racing and being close to the guys. It’s good racing for us, also, and we have so much respect for each other. We’ll get close but we won’t take each other out. We have all worked our butts off to get here.”
Austin Forkner, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki: “Last year it was a brand new bike and there was a lot to go through. Maybe at the test tracks my starts maybe weren’t an issue, but at the races they were an issue. This year we had a nice base setting, yes we did change some things, but a fresh bike, you’re always going to miss something. I definitely felt under the ball last year with a couple of things, but especially with starts. To have that feeling like I had in 2019 and 2020, where you’re just ahead and you see no one next to you, that felt good. I made a push about halfway, maybe 8-10 minute mark. Then Lawrence matched it. I think maybe I was a little off pace in the whoops, but it was working and I didn’t think it was worth changing it. I did just kind of bring it home a little bit. I was just watching where Cameron was I didn’t want him to get that close. Especially with the way that heat race went, definitely smoothed it out for the main.”
Cameron Mcadoo, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki: “I was trying to make a push toward Austin, I feel like I made a big mistake about halfway. We had 20 laps, a lot of laps, and the track changed a lot. It was really important to lock in. I don’t think you can just say you’re going to try to survive this track. You had to lock in.”
