Was awesome just to ride some supercross and to see such big crowds supporting it, hopefully gets bigger and better and more riders have a crack at it. Had some good battles, I was hoping vets would be easier than that. Thanks for the support guys!”

Monson/Summerhayes top Victorian Sidecars at Mildura
By Brendon Gledhill
Local Sidecar “Ace” Warren Monson and Andrew Summerhayes won the Robinson Plumbing / Gardenland Landscape Supplies, 2022 Victorian Sidecar Championship, at Mildura’s Olympic Park Speedway on Saturday night.
Monson topped the score chart with fourteen points, only dropping one point to former Australian Champions, Trent Headland / Daz Whetstone, who finished the final in fourth place. In winning the Victorian Title, Monson and Summerhayes were also presented with the Dudley Bradshaw Memorial Trophy in a unique situation for the Club.
The regular “Sidecar Shootout”, which is the Bradshaw Memorial Trophy meeting, was amalgamated into the State Championship, as the Club believed that the field for the State title would be a more substantial meeting and would be in keeping with the Club’s need to publicly acknowledge and pay tribute to late Life Member, Wayne Bradshaw, who passed on 17th May 2021, which was after the conduct of the Clubs’ last meeting for last season in April 2021. The Bradshaw family embraced the unique situation, so much so, that Wayne’s young grandchildren, Elsie and Elliot Cock, were the trophy presenters on the night, which was very much enjoyed by all Trophy recipients.
Second in the Title was Mick Headland and local passenger and Club’s Sidecar coordinator and track builder, Brenton Kerr, who had worked hard to make this meeting possible. Third on the night was Queensland visitor, Brodie Cohen with passenger Jesse Headland. Cohen / Headland had had to work hard to win the “B” final by overcoming a tough group of Max Howse / Riley Commons, from Broken Hill and local stars, Byren Gates / Eli Bock and Shane Hudson / Adam Constable, who failed to finish the penultimate event.
A wonderful track was provided for the Title, with grip being available across the whole surface through the entire twenty exciting heats. Some excellent racing was viewed by the large crowd in attendance, who were vocal in support of the stars of the night. Sections of the crowd are now quite vocal in support of various teams, which brings more excitement to the meeting.
The Broken Hill teenagers, Max Howse and passenger, Riley Commons, bring with them a parochial support crew who are well rewarded by some excellent riding from the young pair. Mildura Club officials continue to be impressed by the talent and smooth riding skills of the lads from the Silver City, who are well tutored by their respective Dads, who did score a second place in the 2010 Australian Title. Good racing lines are well chosen by Howse and he has always shown respect to other racers whilst not being afraid of getting on the gas when required.
The crowd showed great respect when the Club conducted the pre-meeting tribute to Wayne Bradshaw and after enjoyed watching Wayne’s younger brother Jason, winner of the 2000 Victorian Title, riding on his machine with Wayne’s son-in-law, Nathan Cock and Nathan’s son Elliot in the Sidecar to complete the family occasion.
The exciting Exposed Signage & Apparel, “Dash for Cash” was conducted then before the Championship began with some fast times being extracted from the grippy surface. There were five teams, Gates / Bock, Headland / Kerr, Headland / Whetstone, Hudson / Constable and Monson / Summerhayes, who recorded times in the fourteen second bracket with the winner needing to be decided by just 4 one thousandth of a second. Trent Headland / Daz Whetstone recorded a lap time of 14.454 seconds and were just pipped at the post by Warren Monson / Andrew Summerhayes, who recorded a time of 14.450 seconds to take the Dash for Cash prize.
An interesting group of Classic Sidecars provided support for the Title event in five rider heats with the winner Bob Kemp / Nick Johns scoring 15 points and winning the night on a count back from the father/daughter pair, Chris and Hannah Holmes, who also scored 15 points. Third place went to Marc Bowen / Danny Glen, with nine points from Glen Hollis / John Willcock (6) and Ben Rankin / Logan Symes (5). These teams enjoy the cut and thrust of yesteryear and enjoy every moment of their tracktime.
Motorcross Mayhem was also a feature of the night with experienced local Rowan Tegart winning every heat and the final ahead of Josh Knights, Gardenland Landscape Supplies principal, Adam Ferguson, who was third overall with Tom Reddy, Connor Adams, Aaron Mason, SA visitor, Graeme Eberhard, Con Twist, Hannah Holmes and Danny Glen completing the field.
Next meeting at Olympic Park will be the 45th Annual Mildura Sidecar Spectacular, where riders will compete for the Keith “Curly” Carmes Memorial Trophy. The annual Sidecar “Speccy” is the longest running, non-Title Sidecar event in the country and is a “bucket list” event for participants. The event will be held on SUNDAY 13th March with a large crowd expected to be in attendance.

Weather postpones MXGP opener
Severe weather conditions in Matterley Basin, as a result of storm Eunice, have forced the event to be postponed to next weekend, after the government issued a strong wind warning.
The main concern was the health and safety of anyone attending the event be them public, riders, teams, workers and members of the industry.
The MXGP of Great Britain is being rescheduled to the following weekend, with the event going ahead on the 26th-27th of February. This means that any tickets bought for this weekend will be valid for the alternative date. Public areas will remain closed and will open in time for next week.
Romain Febvre has also confirmed he’ll miss the first few MXGP rounds of 2022, as he continues to recover from injuries suffered at the Paris Supercross.
It’s thought he’ll return at the MXGP of Patagonia-Argentina or Round 3, a month after the season kicks off, however Febvre is remaining tight lipped at this time about anything specific to his return.
Romain Febvre
“I’m sorry to all my team, sponsors and fans that I will miss the first few GP’s of 2022! I’m trying everything to be there as soon as possible! Good luck to my team mate Ben Watson.”

Bathurst Long Track Masters set for March
The programme of events for the long awaited return of motorcycle racing to the Bathurst Showground has been expanded to include a Masters Shootout, a series of match races for the top riders that is certain to excite fans.
Saturday March 5 is locked in for race day, after practice on the Friday, for the Bathurst Long Track Masters meeting, more than four years since the last time the venue hosted racing. If 111 events across 14 classes of competition were not enough, organisers have now added another feature to be staged around what is normally the tea break for the meeting.
The timing of that break in racing is invariably dictated by the setting sun with officials cautious about sending off a full field of machines looking in to the setting sun low in the western sky.
Instead the series of match races will involve just two machines at a time, and they will be the best performed riders up to that point in the programme. There will be four classes for the Masters Shootout – Pro 450 and Over 40s / Unlimited 2-stroke machines, long track sliders and the two three-wheel classes, namely dirt track sidecars and speedway sidecars.
Lap times recorded in qualifying heats during the afternoon will determine the three fastest in the sidecar classes and five fastest in the two-wheel classes. The Shootout format is simple – the two slowest qualifiers will have a one-lap match race with the loser eliminated and the winner progressing to take on the next fastest of the qualifiers.
For the last two riders it will be a ‘dash for cash’ with only the winner taking the prizemoney from local businesses Bustin’ Free Earthworks and Schumack Engineering.
The last meeting at Bathurst Showground back in 2017 saw the Shootout staged as a series of time trials and one of those winners Mackenzie Childs is back this year aiming for a repeat success in the Pro 450 class.
Fans should remember they can secure their tickets now via the website https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/panorama-motorcycle-club-long-track-40142513283
Courtney Duncan aiming for fourth title in 2022 with Bike It Dixon Racing Team
Courtney Duncan recently re-signed with Kawasaki Europe and New Zealand for a further two years, continuing the stunning streak of success that began in 2019 when she won the first of her three world championships with the green team.
Racing for the English Kawasaki outfit Bike It Dixon Racing Team (DRT), Duncan says the freshly inked deal makes for some “exciting times ahead.”
Courtney Duncan
“It’s been cool to have opportunities to train with some different athletes and work with the crew there. They’ve helped us to look for ways to be better – especially off the bike. The high performance team has been monitoring the way we are tracking and looking for small improvements here and there. As we get better, those improvements are just small percentages, but they all count and overall I’m just continually trying to be better. It’s always nice to have the reassurance of a two-year contract. We know what to expect and obviously we’ve had a lot of success there. We’ve been to the top three times before with the same team and the same brand and hopefully we can carry on that success.”
“I’ve been working with Jordy for the past few seasons and he has been part of the team since the beginning. A mechanic is vital to our performance and we need to have a good relationship there. We’ve worked well together in the past and I’m happy he’s staying on board. It’s another year with another new start and another opportunity to chase another championship. Trying to get the four-peat is obviously the goal. At the same time my thoughts aren’t purely on that. It’s in the back of my mind but I’m just doing the day-to-day processes, ticking off all the boxes and putting in the prep. It’s another big challenge this year but I’m always up for a challenge!”
Mohammed Al-Balooshi wins Jordan Baja 2022
The first round of the FIM Bajas World Cup took place over two days in the desert of Wadi Rum and neighbouring Wadi Araba in southern Jordan. After 662km of racing, Mohammed Al-Balooshi (KTM) claimed victory at the Jordan Baja for the third successive year.
Mohammed Al-Balooshi
“The important thing was the first day,” he said. “I didn’t have to waste too much time opening the track since I was starting first. I obviously got caught up and the navigation was not easy but I managed to minimise the gap and finish second, 40 seconds behind. Today, I just had to catch up with Abdullah Abu Aishah, but the special was not easy because the navigation was even more difficult than on the first day and we suffered terrible heavy rain which greatly reduced visibility. But now, I have my third medal and I am very happy!”
Abdullah Abu Aishah finished second, ahead of Abdullah Al-Shatti and the Qatar-based Australian rider Martin Chalmers, who was taking part in the Jordan Baja for the first time:
Martin Chalmers
“I only live in Qatar and this is the first time I have taken part in the Jordan Baja. Finishing fourth behind the best riders in the world is amazing. It was wonderful, even if I didn’t have time to enjoy the sumptuous landscapes!”
The second leg of FIM Bajas World Cup will take place in Qatar from 24th to 26th of March.

Kyle Peters wins title in 2022 AMA Arenacross
Phoenix Racing Honda’s Kyle Peters continued his stretch of excellence by winning his third straight 2022 AMA Arenacross National Championship, wrapping things up at the season finale in Denver, Colo.
Aboard his 2022 CRF250R, the Greensboro, N.C., rider dominated the competition during the 2022 season, winning 19-of-20 main events en route to an overall win by a margin of 222 points.
A runner-up finish in the first 450 Pro main event was the only blemish on Peters’ resume, preventing consecutive perfect seasons for him.
Kyle Peters
“I wanted to keep the win streak going, but unfortunately some things happened at the first round. Honestly, I think that took a weight off my shoulders, and from then on it was head down, hammer down. I had a couple races where I made things hard on myself — like crashing in Oklahoma and getting a bad start this weekend — but I was able to get through those and win, and take the championship again.”
Peters finished with 517 points, with GasGas’ Kyle Bitterman’s 295 points good enough for second — an improvement from his third overall placing in 2021.
The other 2022 AMA Arenacross class champions are as follows:

2022 Big Buck GNCC Race Report
Round one of the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series ran in Union, South Carolina with the VP Racing Fuels Big Buck. While the South Carolina temperatures were mild and sunny, the track conditions were nothing short of brutal for the racers competing at the season opener.
After moving into the lead position on lap one, FMF/KTM Factory Racing’s Benjamin Kelley would not look back. Kelley, the 2021 National Champion, came out and took the first win of the season in dominating fashion as he led from start to finish. This is Kelley’s first XC1 overall win at round one and at the Big Buck Farm facility.
Babbitts Online/Monster Energy/Kawasaki Team Green’s Josh Strang was pushing all day long as he started out back in eighth place. Strang would continue to keep his head down and would find himself in fifth on lap three. With three laps to go Strang was in third with his sights set on making the pass for second. As the white flag flew, he was just three seconds behind, and would make the pass stick with just miles to go before the checkered flag flew. As he came into the finish, Strang would cross just 1.9 seconds ahead of third.
Coming through to earn third overall was Magna1 Motorsports/Husqvarna’s Jordan Ashburn. After finishing third overall last year, Ashburn was ready to push once again to battle at the front of the pack. On Sunday afternoon, Ashburn was running third for majority of the day before battling with Strang on the last lap of the race. Ashburn would be unable to hold off Strang, and he would come through just behind him for the last podium position.
Josh Strang
“Round one is in the books! A stacked class this year so to finish in second, I’ll take it. A fun track that flowed a little better than the last few years made for some good racing! It’s exciting to see the work that we have been doing is working I was a little nervous. Thanks to all the the fans and my team for all the support!”
FMF/KTM Factory Racing’s Josh Toth had an overall good day of racing. Toth started off the day inside the top three, and he worked his way into second place for majority of the race. However, when the white flag flew indicating one more lap to go Strang and Ashburn would put on the charge and made the passes stick on Toth. He was able to salvage a fourth place finish, and he is ready to head into the Florida sand.
Earning fifth overall on the day was Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Trevor Bollinger. As the race got underway Bollinger would find himself back in 10th on the opening lap. Bollinger would continue to ride smart and made a push towards the front, moving into third on lap three. However, after a couple of mistakes Bollinger moved backwards but would make a late push to move into the top five as the three-hours dwindled down.
Steve Holcombe, who is competing the first three rounds of the 2022 GNCC series before returning to his usual arena of EnduroGP, finished tenth.
Steve Holcombe
“GNCC Round 1 done and dusted. Rough day for me and disappointed with my riding. Pumped up from the get go and struggled to physically hold on the bike. I wasn’t expecting it to be that rough and my set up was way off. Hats off to the guys ahead as three hours racing hard around there was not easy! Time to get the hand healed up and excited to get to Florida with some better preparation. Big thanks to the Beta USA crew for the support race day!”

XC2 250 Pro
As the XC2 250 Pro class took off it was Babbitts Online/Monster Energy/Kawasaki Team Green’s Lyndon Snodgrass jumping off the line first to earn the $250 STACYC Holeshot Award. However, on lap one as the group made their way towards the finish line it was AmPro Yamaha’s Michael Witkowski checking in first.
Witkowski would continue to lead the race, charging hard for the duration of the three-hours. As the checkered flag flew it was Witkowski coming through to earn the round one win, and after a rough 2021 season he is looking ahead to a better year in 2022.
Snodgrass would make his way up to second place, and he would remain there for the length of the race. Snodgrass tried to make a last lap push, but he would fall short of earning that first win in 2022. Snodgrass is eager for the season and is ready to battle for the class championship.
Costal GASGAS Factory Racing’s Ryder Lafferty came back from a mid-pack start to battle for the last podium position. Lafferty would come through 11th on the opening lap, but he would put his head down and make the necessary passes to steadily move through the pack over the course of the race. Lafferty continued to push as he made his way through the finish line just under a minute behind second place.
Unfortunately for Lafferty’s teammate and XC2 defending champion, Johnathan Girroir, his day ended early after running second on the opening lap. Girroir suffered an injury, but more news has not been released as of publication time. The GNCC Series wishes Girroir a speedy recovery.
Taking home the Top Amateur honors in the afternoon race was Tely Energy/KTM’s Bubz Tasha of the 250 A class with his 24th overall finishing position. Tasha would also capture the 250 A class win. Babbitts Online/Monster Energy/Kawasaki Team Green’s Chase Colville and Grant Davis would round out the Top Amateur podium with 26th and 29th overall finishing positions. Colville and Davis would also complete the 250 A class podium as they earned second and third in the class.

WXC
In the WXC class it was the AmPro Yamaha of Rachael Archer having a dominate performance as she made her way into the lead position on lap one and would continue to push until the checkered flag waved. Archer would earn the season opener with over a minute lead on the rest of the WXC pack.
Coming through to earn second in the WXC class was Rockstar Energy Husqvarna/Surge Off-Road Coaching’s Tayla Jones. As she made her way into second on the opening lap of the race, Jones would continue to try and catch Archer at the front of the pack. Ultimately time would run out, and Jones would cross the line second with Trail Jesters KTM-backed rider Korie Steede battling back in the third and final podium position for the duration of the race. Jocelyn Barnes would start the day off by earning the $100 Trail Jesters WXC Hoelshot Award.

Riders talk Minneapolis Supercross Round Seven
450 Main
Cooper Webb scored the holeshot ahead of Jason Anderson, Chase Sexton and Malcolm Stewart when the gates dropped for round seven of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.
Championship leader Eli Tomac went down on the face of a triple early on the second lap after having to evade his Monster Yamaha Team-mate Dylan Ferrandis. Tomac had been relegated all the way back to 20th place by the time he was back up and running.
Cooper Webb led Chase Sexton by just over a second over most of the opening laps. Sexton was chasing Webb hard and made a few small mistakes but eventually overhauled Webb with just over 14-minutes remaining on the shot clock.
Shortly after losing the lead Webb was then pushed further back to third by Jason Anderson. Malcolm Stewart and Marvin Musquin were not far behind that pair, running fourth and fifth ahead of sixth placed Roczen.
Sexton had steadily built a three-second lead over Anderson by half race distance.
Eli Tomac had worked his way up to tenth by that halfway point of the race. It took quite a few laps for Tomac to get the better of Plessinger but he then made short work of Roczen to move up to seventh.
Malcolm Stewart was looking to have a podium wrapped up but he went down with just under three-minutes left on the clock. That allowed Marvin Musquin to move up and take that third place.
22-year-old Sexton continued to pull away in the second half of the race, maintaining a gap of around three-seconds over Anderson only to falter just as the shot clock his zero!
Sexton went down hard after losing the front on the face of the jump situated just out of a left-hander after the finish line. His bike didn’t make the jump but his body did, slamming into the face of the next jump! Sexton struggled to get up for a long time and never managed to get back on his motorcycle, but was still credited with a 16th place finish and seven-points.
Sexton’s late mistake saw Jason Anderson the victor over Cooper Webb by three-seconds.
Marvin Musquin rounded out the podium ahead of Malcolm Stewart and Justin Barcia.
Eli Tomac came from the back of the field all the way through to sixth place for 17-points which saw him maintain his championship lead, but his buffer trimmed to only three-points over Anderson.
Jason Anderson – P1
“The track broke down a lot by the Main Event tonight but, that’s something we kind of expect with some of the East Coast tracks. I’ve been doing my best to prepare for it while practicing in California by riding with the Pro Circuit team every Thursday to sort of simulate race conditions. That helped tonight but, this was still a tough track for pushing the pace, and you kind of just had to let the race come to you. It’s awesome to have three wins already in the season but, we will keep taking it one race at a time as we go forward from here.”
Cooper Webb – P2
“It’s nice to be back up here and back in the fight – a chance at running up front again. I have to give it up to the team, they found some good stuff this week. I’m still not where I want to be but it was a great night – we got a holeshot, led laps and a few crashes put me into second but I’ll take it. It’s been a rough start to the season and there’s light at the end of the tunnel, so we’ll take it.”
Marvin Musquin – P3
“These podiums don’t come easy this year so I want to enjoy it, even though I’m a little bit disappointed because I was right there and I lost some ground at some point. It took me a while to figure out what to do in the whoops and I was faster on the rest of the track. It doesn’t feel like I got third with the way the race went but this is racing and the competition is tough, so third tonight is great.”
Malcom Stewart – P4
“It was a good day today,” Stewart said. “I got my first heat-race win of the year, I’m really thankful for that one, and I felt real good all day. I got a really good start in the main and I felt like I was adapting to the track. I was riding my own race and I just made a big mistake with a few minutes to go, but that’s part of racing. I’m happy though, it’s another top-five and we were so close again! We’re going to take what we’ve learned from this race and move forward.”
Justin Barcia – P5
“It’s cool to have the east coast guys back, I had a lot of fun with PB in the truck today! I was riding well in the heat, making a comeback and got a little whiskey throttle and ended up crashing, so that put me back pretty far. I had a bad gate pick from the heat race but I made the most of it in the main and put in a fight, it was definitely difficult! I struggled a lot, it was one of the harder nights riding-wise but all-in-all I salvaged a fifth, which was crazy because the ride didn’t feel that well at all. I’ll take the fifth and move on from here and keep on grinding.”
Eli Tomac – P6
“Well, it was not the result that we wanted, but it was a good recovery for what happened and the position I was in on the first lap. So, after that, it was just fighting for a position and trying to move forward. It was a really tough track, as usual, but even more tough tonight because it was a mix of ruts and a little bit of a dry surface. That was it; It was unfortunate what happened, and I was just trying to do my best to come forward.”
Aaron Plessinger – P7
“Tonight was a step in the right direction. I had an alright start in the Main Event and I just felt a little stale the whole race. I couldn’t really push forward and I was just kind of riding – a few people got by me and I got by a few people. We made a lot of progress this week, even though my riding isn’t showing how good the bike is working. We’ll go back to Florida this week, work on myself a little bit and be back for Dallas.”
Ken Roczen – P8
“The first East Coast round was a tough night; the track was really difficult. The dirt was really tacky, especially in practice, where the track was super rutty and just really, really rough. I wouldn’t say I was the most comfortable, but this was the first time that I didn’t make any changes to the bike; I just tried to get used to it. This was the best I’ve been in the whoops, so that was a big plus for us, too. I had a decent start in the main event but got passed by Marvin [Musquin] early on. I was behind him for quite some time, but we kept a fairly close distance to the leader. That was good until I tried to pass and jumped a little bit too far to the left after the triple. There was some loose dirt there, and as soon as I landed I washed the front end pretty bad and went down. My bars were tweaked quite a bit and we only had a few minutes to go, so there wasn’t much we could do from there. It might not be the result that we wanted but there are some positives to take away compared to the previous weekend, so we’re going to build on that. It’s my first week back in Florida now, which I’m really excited for, and I think it will be a big help in the upcoming events.”
Dylan Ferrandis – P9
“The day started out well with another good qualifying, but unfortunately, I was in a lot of pain in the main event after my two big crashes at the previous races. I did what I could and finished ninth. We’ll keep working and try for better next week.”
Dean Wilson – P11
“The result is not what we want but I’m doing my best. In the Main Event, I didn’t have a great start but I just pushed as much as I could. Ninth-place was in sight and I pushed to the checkered and that’s all I had to give tonight. I just have to keep pushing and get that start and I know I can be inside the top-seven.”

250 Main
Jett Lawrence kicked off his season in fine style with a good gate and the early running saw the 18-year-old Aussie chasing Austin Forkner around the opening lap before making his move early on lap two to take the lead.
From there Jett was never headed. A dominant victory over five-seconds ahead of Forkner and the only rider in the main to record a 48-second lap.
Likewise Cameron McAdoo was soon up to third and then held that position all the way to the flag despite advances from Jeremy Martin and RJ Hampshire.
A perfect start to Jett’s 2022 campaign saw the youngster throw his goggles into the crowd, followed by his gloves.
Jett Lawrence – P1
“Today was a great day of racing. I had so much fun being out here and riding; the bike was awesome, and the track was actually a lot of fun. In practice, I just took my time and tried to not do anything crazy. I got a decent start in the heat race but got caught up a bit in the first turn, so I had to make some good passes to get second in that. For the main event, I just put myself in a really good spot to get the win, and it all came together. Overall, it was a good day and I’m super pumped; hopefully we can do the same at the rest of the rounds.”
Austin Forkner – P2
“A podium finish is always a nice way to start the season. I was the fastest qualifier in the timed sessions and had a decent heat race. I grabbed the holeshot in the Main Event, I’ve been focused on making sure my starts are on point this year, so I was happy with that, and I just tried to focus on putting together clean laps. There weren’t many obstacles to separate the front guys on this track, so it came down to minimizing mistakes. My laps were consistent and I’m glad to have come away with a second, we are still right there in the points.”
Cameron McAdoo – P3
“With the short lap times, we had to do a lot of laps on a technical track tonight, so I did my best to lock-in. When competing against a class as stacked as this 250SX East championship, it was important for me to just focus on hitting my marks and execute each lap. I’m happy to get through the opening round with a podium and I feel confident heading into Arlington next weekend.”
Jeremy Martin – P4
“I’m leaving here, and I’m healthy. The track was good in the end. From media day to the main, I was like, ‘Wow, what a difference!’ Everything was pretty peaky and wasn’t very smooth, so it just felt very foreign out there, and I was struggling. For the main, though, I got a better start, and I was definitely riding better – driving into my rhythms and my turns – but it just wasn’t enough. I made some mistakes out there, and I’m not happy about that, but I also reflect on last year’s season opener, which was bad. I dislocated my shoulder and was out the whole season, so I’m glad to log a fourth tonight. We’ll get back to work this week and go from there.”
RJ Hampshire – P5
“We’re out of here pretty healthy and I feel good on the bike,” Hampshire said. “All three of us were just kind of riding and we couldn’t really make up any time in the main. They were pulling me in the whoops and then I was gaining it back everywhere else. The mid-part of the main was my downfall, I had to back it down and figure some things out for five or six laps. I’m stoked on where we’re at and I know we can make a lot of progress moving forward.”
Pierce Brown – P6
“Today went pretty smooth for the most part. I got a heat-win under my belt, so that felt good. In the Main Event, I didn’t get the start I needed and I just had to play around with those guys back there, it was tough to make passes. That kind of dictated my night but I’m happy to come out with a sixth place. I’ve got some stuff to work on for next week but for the most part I’m stoked – I checked some things off the list tonight and I’m amped for next weekend!”
Stilez Robertson – P7
“In the Main Event, I got a pretty good start and just tried to stay with those guys as long as we could. A little bit of off-the-bike time definitely shined through but it is what it is, we’re just going to try and get better every weekend and get back to where we belong.”
Levi Kitchen – P9
“Man, it’s chaos out there, and I don’t even feel like I was in that much chaos. I think today as a whole was really good for my first supercross. I had the speed; I just needed to be comfortable like I was in practice and apply that to the race. Also, as the track breaks down, I need to work on switching my lines up or just adapting to those rougher lines. I know what I need to work on so I’m happy and leaving here healthy. I saw a lot of guys down, and I know it’s a long season. I don’t like this result, but for sure, it’s something I can build on next weekend and the weekend after.”
Jordon Smith – P13
“It’s been a hard few year’s with injuries and setbacks but I am feeling strong, pre-season at MTF has gone well and the new team is prepared and motivated. I was happy with qualifying, and my heat race and I know what we need to work on ahead of round 2 this coming weekend in Arlington. The heat race was all about hitting my marks, I still need to work on my starts and some race craft as its been a long time between races for me, but it was second was a solid result. Overall, the main was terrible, my start created these problems and I know what I need to work on this week. Though, there are a lot of positives, and we won’t dismiss them. It’s good to be back racing.”
