IIIMY OWN RACE:
main," Reed said. "Honestly, these first
few races have just been really difficult
because of the emo ons of this being
my last year doing this, and I just don't
think I was really prepared for that. I
dropped out of the race last weekend
because my emo ons just made it,
so I didn't want to be out there, and I
didn't ride all week, but it helped me
start to get that under control, I think.
We'll see."

Jus n Bogle (Rocky Mountain ATV-MC
KTM) has been looking good on the
track, but he doesn't have the results
to show for it so far in 2020. "It's been
a struggle," Bogle said. "It's tough
because I've been struggling in med
qualifying, and then I get bad gate
picks so that usually leads to some bad
starts, and then it's just hard to get
anything going. But I'm not a 16th-
place guy. We'll get it figured out."

"I felt like I struggled all day," said the

outside the top 10, but set an absolutely blistering pace
and completely dominated the main event.
Fresh off his win in St. Louis last weekend, Ken Roc-
zen (Honda HRC) got the holeshot at Anaheim 2, and
after sloughing off a challenge by Blake Baggett (Rocky
Mountain ATV-MC KTM) in the opening stages (who
went down while challenging Roczen for the lead), pulled
out to a sizeable early lead. But Tomac was on another
level altogether. It took Tomac less than five laps to get
up to second place, and then when he set his sights on
Roczen out front, Tomac threw down five 52-second lap
times in a row—a 52.078, 52.418, 52.884, 52.885 and a
52.614—to catch, pass, and pull away from the previous-
round winner Roczen. Nobody else in the main event re-
corded a single lap in the 52-second range, and Tomac
nearly got into the 51s!
