Jo Shimoda
“Wow, what a feeling. I knew finishing 4-1 would be hard to bring home the overall, but as soon as the team let me know I won, the emotions began. This is what it’s all about and over the past couple weeks I have been enjoying riding more than ever. Thank you to the fans and my amazing team for their endless support.”
Ryder DiFrancesco
“I knew this time would come; my career best finish and a Moto 2 podium! I cannot express how grateful I am for everyone sticking behind me and believing in me and my program. I am looking forward to the next two rounds.”
Seth Hammaker
“The day started off great, taking the top qualifying spot, but it slowly began to go downhill. I had great starts, but costly mistakes put me in a spot I did not want to be in. I am glad I’m healthy and we will get back to the drawing board for Round 2.”
Austin Forkner
“I had a lot of nerves coming into this race having to make it into the final race from the LCQ. The speed was there all day and Moto 1 felt good to battle with my teammates. Looking forward to rebounding at the next round.”
Carson Mumford
“Today was not how I wanted to go out, but after Moto 1, the team and I decided it's best to recover from my sickness before it got too serious. I feel much better now and am grateful for this opportunity.”
Jason Anderson
“The SMX track was fun and the layout was something new for us, which I liked. I had some good battles with the top guys and ended the day in fifth. Now having a better idea of the SMX track layouts, we plan to do some more testing this week before Playoff 2 in Chicago.”
Adam Cianciarulo
“I had a great time for the majority of the weekend, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out for us in the end. The silver lining is that I’m in good health and the upcoming race offers double points.”
