IIIMY OWN RACE: 94 KEN ROCZEN 4TH 450SX "Orlando 2 was a good night for us, even though it may not look like it on paper," said Roczen. "I felt really good in the heat race, ge ng the hoelshot and first gate pick in the main event. The 250 riders were racing, and as soon as they moved the Tuff Blocks, I no ced that my rut was actually very rough and had a big kicker in it. As the gate dropped, I fed my clutch and my front wheel just hit that kicker dead on and my front popped up and really messed me up. I went around the first turn in 22nd, and by the first segment I clocked in at 17th posi on. I really had to do some work, and then I got be- hind Tomac and Barcia. I definitely had more speed, but I just couldn't quite make the pass happen right away. Once I got by Tomac, I tried to reel in Barcia but just didn't have enough me, so ended up ge ng fourth." 25 MARVIN MUSQUIN 2ND 450SX "It feels really good to be running up front," said runner-up Marvin Musquin of his best finish of the season. "The whoops started to be very tough, so I was trying to be careful, but at the same me I wanted to gain me on Cooper. I felt like I was a li le bit quicker at one point, but I didn't want the track to bite me and go down. At least I had a great feeling out there."
