IIIMY OWN RACE: 3 ELI TOMAC 2ND 450SX (2-2-3) "On most of those starts, I came out in the top five, but on the restarts, I didn't put myself in the best posi ons, so that was the difference tonight, for sure," said Eli Tomac. "In moto [main event] one, Ken [Roczen] had a good reac on in the outside in the sand and ran away with that one, so I just needed to be a li le bit be er in a few areas tonight. I kind of was the number-two guy tonight." 21 JASON ANDERSON 3RD 450SX (5-3-2) Jason Anderson is quietly pu ng him- self into posi on to be a contender at the top of the field yet again. The 2018 AMA Supercross champ improved in every race in Glendale. "To be in the ba le with these guys, I need to get in there on the start, and it seems that when I'm si ng in fi h, these guys break away so quick. I think being up there and ge ng myself in the race right away is important," Anderson said. "As far as speed goes, I think some mes they have a li le more speed than me, but I think if I could get of the hour, sweeping all three main events on his way to his second win of 2020. "There was a lot of madness go- ing on tonight," Roczen said. "After that second start, I went all the way up there and started braking, and the guys on the inside just plowed to the front right there. I was kind of shocked; it was like a 250 start—they just didn't let off. Obviously, that brought out a red flag. I just try to have a clean slate every time some- thing like that [a red flag] happens. I had good battles tonight with Eli, obvi- ously, and had a lot of fun. I'm really confident on my starts right now, so that helps. I had two holeshots tonight and just rode really calm, really well. Overall we were really focused. I'm still blown away on having three main- event wins [on the night]. It's great. I had an awesome time tonight." SUPERCROSS MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 4 / JANUARY 25, 2020 STATE FARM STADIUM / GLENDALE, ARIZONA P54 Cooper Webb is riding well but is lacking speed that earned him the title last year. Austin Forkner put himself right back in the championship hunt after taking the overall win in the 250SX West class.
