SUPERCROSS ROUND 10 / MARCH 9, 2019 DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY / DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA P56 MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS iii My Own Race: 2 COOPER WEBB 2ND 450SX "I got a really good start in the main event and just made a bunch of mistakes the first lap," Cooper Webb said. "I missed the rhythm and got passed by a few guys, went back to about sixth and had some work to do. It was cool to battle Blake and Marvin. We were all mak- ing mistakes but also kind of going for it. Once I got into second, I tried to make a run on Eli, and I made some mistakes and also had some pressure from Marvin, so I was kind of in a weird spot. I struggled in a few places—the whoops being one of them." 25 MARVIN MUSQUIN 3RD 450SX "Daytona was overall a great day," Marvin Musquin rationalized. "The riding was good, but unfortunately, I started making a couple mistakes by stalling the bike, and that cost me a lot of time. I'm a little bit bummed because the speed was better than the guys in front of me, but I was in third place. It's good to be on the podium, obviously, but I've got to minimize the mistakes and be a little more consistent to be ahead of those guys." 46 JUSTIN HILL 7TH 450SX "I had my best night of the season so far in the main event," said Justin Hill (JGRMX/Yoshimura/Suzuki). "I fought harder at the begin- ning of the race than normal. I was really close to a top-five spot, but I had a few big mistakes that slowed my run toward the front guys. 94 KEN ROCZEN 8TH 450SX "I'm definitely disappointed in tonight's result; it's my worst of the season," Ken Roczen said. "I think for the most part the day went well, and I was feeling really good on the bike. Unfortunately, in the main event, there was a pileup in the first turn and I got caught between my bike and Cole's and couldn't get up. Once I was up, I did my best to make up as many positions as I could during the race, making my way into eighth—not what I wanted and we're now also down in the points standings, but there are still seven rounds to go." 32 JUSTIN COOPER 3RD 250SX EAST "I got a decent start, and it was a three-way battle for the lead early on," said Justin Cooper. "I made a really big mistake in the long rhythm and actually almost went down; scared me a little bit. That put me back of the two leaders. It was a long race, made a couple of mistakes, and they added up after a little bit and [I] lost touch with those two guys."
