and easy to make mistakes. I just
tried to be consistent. Austin rode
really well and didn't make any
mistakes. Overall it was a pretty
good race."
Mitchell Oldenburg (Monster En-
ergy/Star Yamaha Racing) was a dis-
tant fourth, and Alex Martin (JGRMX/
Yoshimura Suzuki) was fifth.
"Mitchell and I matched lap times
for most of the main," said Martin,
"so I couldn't close the gap on him
for fourth. I was consistent with
hitting the rhythm sections. They
were massive this weekend. It was
a solid ride, and the best I've ever
done in Daytona."
Forkner currently has a com-
fortable 23-point lead in the class
over Cooper and Sexton, who
are joined at the hip in second. A
distant fourth is Martin. CN

Both riders settled in right behind
Forkner off the start, but neither
could hang with the now four-time
season winner. They got around
Peters shortly after Forkner did
but spent most of the race battling
against each other, with Sexton
getting the upper hand.
"I got myself behind Jus-
tin [Cooper], then he made a
mistake and I got by him," said
Sexton. "Austin was about four
seconds ahead of me and just
kind of stayed there for the rest
of the race. The track was gnarly
mistakes," Forkner said. "The
start [getting a good one] helped
and doing the big rhythm every
single lap and not making a
mistake because it was easy to
mistime it. And the whoops were
also destroyed, so basically that
whole straight right there was
really critical that you got that
clean. That was the difference for
me—trying to eliminate the mis-
takes; I made little ones but no
big ones, so that's what did it."
Cooper and Sexton had their
chance against Forkner but failed.
Chase Sexton spent
most of the race
chasing Forkner but
couldn't catch him.
