“I had a good day here in Anaheim and a good night show. I felt really good all day throughout qualifying and practice staying in the Top 5 until the heat race. I had a good jump in the heat race and rode really well. I took over the lead early and managed my race, which is new for me. Being out front felt good; it felt like I was back to where I needed to be. I ended up getting my first heat win which is another stepping stone to keep improving. In the main I felt loose and relaxed after bringing home the heat win. I had a good start and was moving up from seventh to third until the red cross flag came out in the rhythm section. I gained a lot of time there so I feel like I lost a ton of momentum when we couldn’t race through that section. Besides that I rode really well and came out in the Top 5 for the first round. We have plenty of more races to go and I feel comfortable and confident, ready for next weekend!”
