Craig Keeps Win-Streak Rolling at Oakland Supercross

“We had a really good weekend here in Oakland. Christian won his heat race, and Nate qualified well, so we were off to a pretty good start. Christian had another awesome ride. He quickly moved into the lead and maintained his position with no contest to the checkers. Nate had a decent start and fought his way up to a respectable finish in fifth. We are proud of him as he has progressed every time he has ridden and look forward to seeing what he can do as the season progresses. We’re really happy to leave here with another win. I’m proud of our guys. The crew has been putting in the work, and I am happy to see the success.”

“The day was solid. I qualified first and then backed it up in the heat race and then got off to a good start in the main. I was second-place, and then the guy in front of me stalled it, so I made the pass and just never looked back. It was a pretty basic win, but it was nice to score my first back-to-back win. I was coming off a good weekend at Anaheim 1 and then had a good week at the practice track. So I came in here with confidence and just rode like I did last week, and like I do at the practice track every week, which is basically just having fun, and it’s been showing in my riding lately. It’s great to start the season off like this. I have a great support group and people that push me every day to be where I am. I’m really looking forward to my hometown race in San Diego next weekend, so let’s keep it going.”

“I rode well all day; I’ve just got to work on my starts. It was a solid fifth-place, but I feel like I should’ve been on the podium. I came from the back and got up to fourth but got a little tired. I’m ready to go back to work. I feel like the speed’s there to be second and try and sneak in a win on Christian; he’s riding so well. We’ve just got to get a start and put ourselves in a situation to win, and right now, we are not doing that. Let’s go back and have a good week of training and keep swinging next week.”
