![]() ![]() Ken Roczen finished eighth, when asked about it he said: “There isn’t much to say about Indianapolis. So this is just a valuable experience for me moving forward and learning each weekend. Tonight wasn’t the easiest night, but it was a good night for me and I feel like I rode really good.” I had four months last year (of practice) and then four months this year (of practice before the season started) and just had one race coming into this season. It’s different riding at the practice track for eight months. When asked about how he and his team are feeling after the results so far he said: “Yeah, I had a good offseason so I’m not gonna say I didn’t expect any of this, but definitely things are going pretty smooth for me right now. But it’s cool to be at your home race and to end up on the podium it’s always good.”īecause of Justin Cooper’s injury before round two last year, this is basically his rookie season. ![]() But it’s cool to have all the friends and family here, it’s a cool stadium too, I think this is one of the biggest ones we’ve been to so it’s nice and the track breaks down a lot, so it’s definitely difficult. I felt really good in the heat race and I wish I could’ve put a little more of a show in the main event but I didn’t really ride like myself. So it wasn’t hard to go up from there but it was good to get a heat win. Last year this was my worst race, I DNF’d. It’s cool having everybody here, it’s not really stressful. This is my closest race to Illinois which is where I’m from. So it was a little wild ride, but I was stoked it was a good charge, I got right up to the back and ended up third.”Ĭhase Sexton when asked about racing in Indianapolis: “It’s cool. And then I had a moment going into the bales and actually somehow passed Eli that way. I saw the guys in front of me were charging hard and going for it so I knew had to do the same to try to make positions and get up. But it was a good charge back, I put my head down. Ideally I wanted to be the first KTM but I guess I’ll take being in the middle of them.”Ĭooper Webb talks about his main event: “Unfortunately I had the stall there, I can’t remember who I had just passed, but I had the stall and then it definitely took some time to get going, I had to roll the triple and stuff. ![]() But I gotta give it up to Marvin, and Cooper was keeping me honest, I seen that he was coming and I knew that if I slacked off he was going to be on me. So if somebody was there you could try go around but you lost time, and then after that there was a lot of inside (corners where) one rut was the main line to take so if someone was there it was tough. Just lost a little bit of ground, but we were all racing the same guys and the same track, I just got to figure out how to get around the lappers a little bit cleaner. There was kind of one line, of course in the whoops there was one main jump line and then there was one on the side. Even after going down and being ran over in his heat race, Austin could still not be denied the win.īlake Baggett: “This track was busy and tight and stuff. In the 250 East main event it was Austin Forkner who again dominated the class. In a Honda press release Ken said that he’s been feeling tired during the week and he doesn’t know why. Ken Roczen has raised many questions as he started in eighth place and unlike Roczen style, he stayed there for the full main event and finished eighth place. Blake Baggett got on the podium for the fourth time and Cooper Webb pushed through mistakes and even stalling his bike to finish on the podium in third. Marvin Musquin was finally able to get his first win of the year, while Eli Tomac seemed to struggle again. The 2019 Indianapolis Supercross answered some of our questions and it also brought new ones to the surface.
