Roczen said of his night: We went from perfect conditions to this 🫣😆 super proud of the team @hepmotorsports@soules86@l_brooks@activeride The bike was flawless yesterday.
Conditions like that are survival.
I had a great first half of the main making down moves and leading for a bit. I ended up casing the absolute 💩 out of the finish line and bounced my head off the cross bar… which resulted in me ditching my goggles because I couldn’t see from the sweat in my lens from the impact. Later on I got roosted and my right eye really got caked with mud and i couldn’t clear the mud from my eye ball.
I crashed in the whoops but luckily held the clutch and kept the bike running.
It was entertaining 😆
P 3 on the night. I am super happy with everything and content with the result. Let’s keep it going these next few rounds.
