1-1 SUPERSPORT
"Today, every day, we're feeling bet-
ter," Richie Escalante said. "Today I
have a li le bit more rhythm so I could
pass Brandon [Paasch] in the first
several laps; was really good. I pushed
my rhythm very consistently. I'm really
happy to win with this gap and every
lap the same. Just keep working. The
championship is coming. The next race
is a new track so new mo va on."

"Every lap I came by and saw plus-zero
on my board," Cameron Petersen said
a er race two. "At the beginning of the
race, I was like, 'I'm going to put my
head down and see what I can do.' I
might have an opportunity to get away,
and it just didn't happen. These guys
were on my bu the whole race pres-
suring me. I just tried to do everything
I could, just hit my marks and not make
any mistakes. That was a hell of a race.
I enjoy races like that."

conversely, is all Kawasaki and
