“Decent weekend at the third round of the AMA WHS. I got off to a good start, but was just edged out for the holeshot. With how dusty the race was going to be, I knew it was important to try to strike early and get out of the dust. I took every opportunity I could at the lead whenever there were moments of less dust, but wasn’t able to make it happen in the first couple of laps. Lap three after we pitted, I was able to stay close the first couple of miles and took a pretty risky shot at a pass, which briefly worked out before our lines came together a couple corners later and I went down. I remounted quickly, but unfortunately had another crash that same lap that really took the wind out of the sails for a while. Eventually, I started to feel my flow again and was able to charge the last lap to get back in the fight, but with the dust, I just wasn’t able to make anything happen before the end. Really felt like I should have won that race, but I needed to execute the start better. We will work on it!” |
