“Washougal was another solid day for us, I feel like we just keep making progress as the series develops,” commented Hampshire. “P3 in qualifying was good, and then I ran up there with the front guys for a bit in Moto 1 on my way to finish P4. Second moto, decent start, then made a push towards the top-five after the restart, but lost the rear with a few laps to go – another top five and we keep progressing. We’ll aim for an overall podium with three rounds to go, which I feel like we’re capable of.”
“First moto got off to a rough start with a first turn pile-up,” reflected Stewart. “I saw a rider on the ground and he was getting burned, so I got off my bike and helped him out, lifted him up. I think that’s the right thing to do… we race motorcycles for a living, and if I were in that position, I would hope someone would do that for me. We lost a little time there, but we dug deep for 16th. Second moto, we did all we could and got eighth, which was a good bounce back. We’ll enjoy the break, and keep digging for these last three.”
