“This morning went relatively smoothly but this afternoon I had a few problems and couldn’t find a good rhythm. I made a few mistakes and almost crashed one time and was in the dirt another time. It just wasn’t really flowing really well and I’ll definitely have to clean that up for tomorrow.

It wasn’t the greatest of starts and for sure I’d like to be closer to the front right out of the gate. The track temperature is quite warm and it’s going to be important to get some good feel and traction. A lot of riders seem pretty close right now so we’ll have to make some improvements for tomorrow morning.”
