Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing Team’s Ferrandis And Nichols Keep the Podiums Coming in Anaheim 2

Tonight’s Triple Crown was a challenging one for set up with minimal time between races. We started off amazingly with a 1-2 finish, but unfortunately came up slightly short of the overall. Lots of positives to take away from the night. Our bike was unreal off of the gate and we will watch the races this week and figure out our weakness and get ready for Oakland.

The short amount of time between each main event made it physically demanding, but I felt good and strong all night. All the rain from the week, made for a really technical rhythm section, but the bike was awesome. My teammate and I were able to put the bike up front at every start. I’m a bit disappointed to finished second again, but me and my team are going to analyze our race and work on what we need for the win.

The track was very difficult. It got really rutty and soft during the third main event, so made it very hard to continue to jump the rhythm sections and keep everything consistent. The bike was incredible, got off to three really great starts. I’m a little bummed with the way I rode in the last main event after getting the holeshot, but overall it was a good night. Still came out with a podium, can’t be mad at that.

It was also pretty tough to bounce back in between each race, with there being a short time in between each one of the main events. Made it physically demanding, but happy with the way I rode. Just have to get a little bit better.
