Supercross Detroit Le dichiarazioni dei protagonisti
Eli Tomac, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing: “This track was one of the tougher surfaces I’ve ever raced on. It had both conditions which was sticky and hard in the rhythm sections which would pull you left or right and then it had the base in some of the bottoms of the turns where you could lose your traction. I made the move early through the guys and then it was like everything got wild after that. I felt so good on the motorcycle tonight though.”
Malcolm Stewart, Rockstar energy Husqvarna: “I felt good all day. Detroit has treated me well and I’m excited. You guys are so awesome and I’m beyond thankful to be up here again.”
Justin Barcia, Red Bull Troy Lee GasGas: “I had to dig beyond deep,” (said Barcia of dealing with his hand injury.) “I didn’t think I was going to be able to race tonight. My hand’s completely destroyed. I had a practice crash and it’s scary, I look a bit zombie-ish. I’m just happy to be here. My team did a great job today. Today was a test day for us because I wasn’t riding very good, so we did tons of changes on the bike, and I had an awesome bike for the main event. I had an awesome start and there was carnage out there, but I ended up on the podium, so I’m happy with that.”

Jett Lawrence, HRC: “The lappers were gnarly. You had to be patient with it, and I did not want to be taken out by a lapper. That would be the worst night ever. I was taking my time. I didn’t want to make a silly mistake or rush it with lappers. I got into a flow and was taking my time. I wasn’t trying to just gap everyone because I know if I pushed, it can catch you pretty quickly because there was a few slick spots. But those lappers were pretty gnarly and I’m glad I got through safe and I’m back on top of the box again tonight.”
Cameron Mcadoo, Pro Circuit Kawasaki, : “I wouldn’t say my start was a deciding factor. Jett’s riding really well. That’s a big part of it though. I need to put myself in a better position at the beginning of the race. I can’t let him get away like that. I think I started in like fifth or sixth and then I got into third behind Pierce and I was honestly unhappy with my riding the first seven or eight minutes of that main. I made too many mistakes and just let Jett have too much clean air. He’s riding phenomenally and I’ve got to start up there with him to make it happen.”
Pierce Brown, Red Bull Troy Lee GasGas: “I had so much fun tonight. I really needed that. I’ve shown bits and pieces of speed and I finally showed I could put a whole night together. I love these Detroit fans. This is my first time here and I love it here, it’s so much fun. I’m stoked to put my GasGas up on the podium.”
