“Qualifying went well today, definitely one of my better sessions this season. I think I was top four in both sessions, so I felt good heading into the night. In the Heat Race, I got a great start, grabbed the holeshot, and was leading for most of the first lap until I hit a slick, unexpected wet spot and went down. I got back up and finished fourth, which gave me a decent gate pick for the Main. Going into the Main Event, I felt confident but didn’t quite get the jump I wanted off the gate. I had to make some quick passes early on. The track was tough to pass on—super one-lined in sections like the whoops and some tight rhythm lanes—so you had to be really dialed in with line choices and take advantage when guys made mistakes. A few riders went down, I kept pushing, stayed focused, and managed to work my way into third. I’m stoked to be back on the podium—two in a row on the West Coast, which I don’t think I’ve ever done before. Big thanks to the team and Broc Tickle for all the hard work. We’ll keep the momentum going into Salt Lake City.”
