Supercross Seattle Le dichiarazioni dei protagonisti
Eli Tomac, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing: “My main focus was putting the hammer down. Justin was putting the pressure on me there those first few laps and we were putting on a heater pace and I just kept going and was really good that first part. Once he made that mistake, I had a big gap. It was tough. It was like, ‘Alright, let’s focus. This track is breaking down a lot.’ These past few tracks have been very gnarly to get through those 20 minutes. So, I was focusing on being mistake free and it’s unbelievable what we’ve been able to do.”
Jason Anderson, Monster Energy Kawasaki: “I’m just going to try and get as ready as I can. That track out there was brutal. I wasn’t riding the best all day, but I was able to salvage that and coming out second was nice. The AMA didn’t even cost me three points or $3000 to get by Barcia, so it was a good night!”
Marvin Musquin, Red Bull KTM: “To get on the podium tonight is huge! My speed was good today and my starts were good too. I didn’t have the pace in the first few laps but I tried to focus on myself. Malcolm was there behind me until the last lap, so I had to stay really focused and charge really hard. I closed the gap a little bit but that track was super tough so I’m pretty happy to be healthy and moving to the next round having a weekend off.”

Hunter Lawrence, HRC: “I’m just so focused on every day. Honestly, the team saved my ass. We were struggling with the bike during the whole day show and we made some calls where if we got it wrong, we could be screwed. I just had complete trust in my team. Honestly, I’m glad tonight was great because I’ve got a golf tee time on Monday, and I really wanted to bring some good momentum into that on Monday. I’m looking to shoot low.”
Christian Craig, Star Yamaha: “The night was pretty good. I started off with the heat win, but I had a bad start in that race. So I really focused on getting a good start in the main and was able to holeshot that. I rode a little tight in the first few laps but came together with another rider and went down. From there, I just put my head down, made a chargeback, and was able to get back up to second. I kind of challenged for the win, but it just wasn’t enough at the end and finished second. We’re moving on and have a couple of weeks off to get ready for Atlanta.”
Michael Mosiman, Red Bull Troy Lee GasGas: “It’s so good to be back racing! The track was tight and tricky and I was fastest of the 250 and 450 classes, which I was super stoked about! In the main, I made a pass on Christian and ended up bending a rear brake rotor in the process. My bike was riding funny and it would hit the brakes every time the wheel spun and then I didn’t have any brakes after a while. I would have loved to win it but for as crazy as the night was, to end up on the podium was a win for me.”
