CHAMPIONSHIP
VOL. 56 ISSUE 18 MAY 7, 2019 P79
is unbelievable. I can't believe
it's happening right now. I just
controlled the race and made
a good start, which I missed all
season. I always got bad starts,
but for this one, I made the best
of it, so it's happening. It's crazy.
I'm just so thankful. Thank you
for all the industry in America.
They didn't make this dream
come true, but they're part of it
because I always dreamed of
racing here, and now being the
champion is just unbelievable."
In the 250SX East, the title
was effectively decided early in
"I don't care my lap time. I don't
care about my gap or whatever.
I'm just focusing on AC's place.'
The truth is, if he was second or
behind me, I don't know, I would
try to make a fight with him and
show him I'm better, but he [Fer-
randis' mechanic] showed me
he [Cianciarulo] was 4, 3, then a
lap later, he put on the pit board,
'AC's 10.' So, I was like, 'Whoa.
It's really happening.' It was
crazy. I did the best start of my
full season tonight, and I made
it happen at the best moment.
To win the title here in Vegas
work. That's what I'll always do. I
always give 100 percent; always
fight to the end no matter what
happens."
Ferrandis took the West title
in an upset by a clutch perfor-
mance and a little bit of luck.
"I said to my mechanic, 'Just
tell me what place AC [Adam
Cianciarulo] is," Ferrandis said.
A couple questions later, Webb was
asked about the upcoming 2019
Pro Motocross Championship, to
which he responded, "I could give a
shit about outdoors right now. It's all
about tonight!"
MADE IT!
After an injury-ridden two years,
Roczen was pleased to complete
the entire 2019 AMA Supercross
series, and although he never cap-
tured that elusive win, he secured
six podium finishes and an additional
five top-five results en route to an im-
pressive fourth overall. "Although the
whole season didn't go like I wanted
it to, we have a lot of good things to
take away from it," Roczen said. "I've
shown some good speed here and
there and, most importantly, made
it healthy through all 17 rounds. That
alone is a win and will help me in the
future."
Briefly...
Time to celebrate.
