of it, as he appeared to get run over
by the closely trailing Sexton. The
Alpinestars Mobile Medics assisted
Roczen and gave him a ride back to

[Cianciarulo]. I rode bad for the first
part of the moto, but then I got the
flow of the track and came back
on BamBam and tried to find lines
to pass him. He was riding really
aggressive but that was okay. I just
