At the start of the second moto
Red Bull KTM's Cooper Webb
got a great start and briefly led
Roczen. Behind them, Pless-
inger's day was about to end early
as something he happened to his
engine and he rode off the side
of the track in the third turn. He
went back to the mechanics' area
and tried to get back in the race

Ferrandis' day got off to a great
start as he and teammate Aaron
Plessinger took off with the first-
moto lead. Barcia, who won his
first national at Southwick way
back in 2009, quickly dispatched
Plessinger and set after Ferran-
dis, but try as he might, the New
Yorker could never quite close on
the Frenchman. Still, his runner-

Jo Shimoda put in two solid rides and
his reward was his first career outdoor
podium. "Wow, today was great!" he said.
"Ge ng my first overall podium is a big
accomplishment. These 30-minute motos
are so long and challenging, anything can
happen, making it feel like I earned it a lot
more. I really wanted to podium in both
motos, but I gave it everything I had out
there and I'm proud to get the team on
the podium."

"Qualifying was good, I was up there and
pumped to get a good gate pick," Jalek
Swoll said. "I got a good start in the first
moto and led some laps, but I kind of fell
out of the flow for a li le bit. The second
moto was shaping up to be a good one
but at the end of the first lap, Mar n had
flipped, and I went down with him, which
was a bummer. All in all, I think I showed
some good speed today."
Dylan Ferrandis
made the best of a
rare good start for
the Frenchman. He
went on to win the
first moto and take
the overall victory.
