Ken Roczen: “Honestly, I struggle with this track every year. It just has such a hard base and a loose top. I'm almost always blown away with how slick it is. Having said that, today was a combination of struggling with the track and I didn't really feel like I had the bike dialed like I wanted to here. It was a tough first moto, being stuck behind riders the whole time, and I managed to get a fourth place. Then I led a lot of laps during the second moto and just managed to get a second place for second overall, which I was totally okay with today. We made the most out of it. I’m glad to leave here healthy and on the podium again after a couple of weekends of not being on the podium. It was a good comeback, and we're satisfied as a team.”
Hunter Lawrence: “Today started pretty good; I had an awesome breakfast, ‘G’ [sports therapist Dr. H. Rey Gubernick] gave me a little service before we started, and qualifying was pretty good--I went top-three in both sessions. In the first moto I had an average start, made some good passes and got into the lead, which was really cool. I wasn't trying to get too stoked for that moto win because I knew I had to finish the job in the second moto, and we did. I'm really happy with how the day went. It doesn't get much better than 1-1, so it was a pretty awesome day.”
