IIIMY OWN RACE:
14 DYLAN FERRANDIS
2-12 450SX
Dylan Ferrandis was thrilled to get on
the podium, second, on Tuesday night.
"I never expected this race," he said
Tuesday. "It's a big surprise to be here
on the podium, honestly. I always work
really hard, and it looks like it paid off. I
gave everything I had all the way to the
checkered flag. We had to think a lot
on the bike to be crea ve and find new
lines and to try and do some different
things on track to be be er. I wasn't
trying to rush anything, and some guys
made mistakes." Saturday wasn't as
magical. "It was a difficult track," he
said a er ge ng 12th in Saturday's
race. "Nothing really crazy, but it was
hard to do everything correctly and
make no mistakes. We struggled a li le
bit with the bike and tried some differ-
ent se ngs today...but it didn't work.
We came back to what we had at the
last race, but I just didn't feel good on
the bike today. I was a li le red from
the past two races with the lack of
training this winter."

well," said Je Lawrence of his first
career Supercross 250SX win Tuesday
night. "Qualifying was really good—I
win at round three.
"I feel like I've been robbed a
couple of times," Roczen said
following the most recent race
Saturday.
The penalty came Tuesday night
while he was running up front early
in the main. His teammate Chase
Sexton, who was leading at the
time, went down, causing the red-

With the series now packing
up and heading to Indianapolis,
Roczen leaves Houston as the
championship leader by one point.
However, he's not happy, knowing
it could have been much more had
he not been "robbed" by a penalty
that he feels he didn't deserve at
round two, and having a lapped
rider cost him a seemingly sure
Ken Roczen was not happy
with Dean Wilson (next to
Osborne, concealed), who
likely cost the Honda rider
the 450SX win Saturday
night by not heeding the
blue flag on the last lap
while Roczen was leading.
Wilson apologized, but for
Roczen, that doesn't help
with the points he lost.
