Second Consecutive Double Podium for Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing’s 250 Team

“We did really well all day. We just didn’t show up when it counted off of the gate in the Main. There were some rhythms we could have done better as well. We’re constantly striving to be on that top step, or a 1-2 finish, so we’ve got to be a little bit better than we were, plain and simple. At the same time, we ended the night second and third and still have the points lead, 1-2 in the points, actually. I think that’s still really positive, so we can’t lose sight of that.”

“Tonight was pretty good overall. I got second, so I can’t really complain about that because I got some good points. I just didn’t execute the start like I needed to compete for the win, I'm kind of kicking myself for that. I need to be a little better at the beginning of the Main. The track broke down really well, and once it started to break down, I felt like I rode well. It just took too long to get going, and I was too far back to do anything for the win. I need to work on that, and we’ll be good to go to try and get a win. We’ll be better on Saturday.” 

“It was a pretty eventful Main Event. It’s cool to have these red plates. I’ve never been in this situation before, so I didn’t know what to expect. But yeah, it’s awesome. The Main Event started okay. I came around mid-pack and then went to work on passing people. I ended up getting Colt midway through, and then two riders went down. I had to manage a couple of things throughout the race. In the last three or four laps, I made some mistakes, and Colt got by me. I finished third, so I can’t be too mad, but on the other hand, I need to fix those mistakes for Saturday. It’s a quick turn around again. We’ve still got the red plate, which I’m happy about, and maintained some of our points lead. I’m ready to move on to Saturday now.”
