"The first test I had a good test
going and I stalled it. I probably
lost five, ten seconds there," said
Andrew. "I probably would have won
that test. Then the second test I was
all over the place. I don't know what
I was doing. I think I won three or
four, one of them was test two, by a
pretty good amount. But I felt really
good. I changed tires and the rest
of the tests were pretty good. Six
was a struggle, but overall it was a
good day. I wish I would have put it
more together for the win, but I fell
apart at the end."
Although he had suffered all
week with a stomach bug, FMF/
KTM Factory Racing's Ben Kelley
still managed a fourth-place finish,
after leading at one point.
"Tests one and two were good
and I was leading the day and then
just kind of fell apart in test three,"
said Kelley. "I had three crashes,
just stupid things, like back to back
to back. That took some time out
of my lead. Then again in test four.
I felt pretty good but had a crash.
The rest of the day I just kind of
rode it in. I haven't been able to eat
or drink since Monday. So I just
had no energy at the end of the
day. Can't eat, can't drink, was just
exhausted. It was all I could just to
ride through. Frustrating, because
I know I have the speed and this is
a good track for me, but just didn't
end the day well."
