“I'm really happy with the progress we made today. Qualifying P1 gave me confidence, and I felt like my speed was there all day. We still have some things to clean up, especially the starts, but coming through the pack for sixth overall feels like a solid step forward. Big thanks to the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team for all the work they've put in. I'm excited to keep building and see what we can do at Washougal.”

“Overall, it was a solid day. We had good speed all day, but a couple mistakes made things harder than they needed to be. I had to fight through the pack in both motos after crashes, but I'm happy to come away with ninth overall. The goal is to be in the Top 10 even on the difficult days, so we'll keep building and carry that momentum into Washougal.”

“I started off with a solid qualifying in sixth place this morning. Unfortunately, I didn't quite have what it took in the races today. A 12-11 for 12th overall was all I had. I’m looking forward to a week of good recovery and next weekend in Washougal.”
