CHAMPIONSHIP
VOL. 56 ISSUE 2 JANUARY 15, 2019 P57
CONSISTENCY
Ken Roczen is the only rider to finish
on the podium in both rounds so far.
"It's only been two races, but I'm just
trying to be super neutral," he said,
"and not let my highs get too high and
my lows too low. We're in a great spot

many good guys there are out there,

five races. For right now we're keeping
our cool and doing the right thing."
FIRST WIN

Baggett talked about getting the first
victory. "You've pretty much got 20

he said, "so it comes down to having
all your Ps and Qs in order, having
your training program dialed in, your
bike dialed in, and then a little bit of
luck, and that's where it's at. I don't
think it's sunk in yet; it's one of those
things where you get one and all you
can think about is wanting to go race
again next weekend. The bummer part
is that Forest Butler, the team owner,
wasn't able to make this one; of the
[race] I won—I guess I'm going to have
to win another one when he is there. I
was able to get the team's first podium
and then able to give them their first
