1-1 SBK
"I'm happy with this weekend," Jake
Gagne said a er race two. "Thursday
and Friday we were s ll fast, but it wasn't
the bike that I had all year. So yesterday
we kind of changed some stuff up and
it felt more like my bike again. I was just
fortunate I got off to a good start. I was
spinning the rear re all the way into turn
one. It was weird having pole posi on on
the inside, so you're entering that turn
one from the inside on the dirty stuff and
that thing was just bucking me. I managed
to get a good couple laps in there and was
just keeping an eye on my pit board."
76 LORIS BAZ
DNF-3 SBK
"It's been a challenging weekend but what
a fantas c job by the team to set up the
bike for this bumpy track," Baz said. "Ev-
erything was thrown away in race one due
to some silly decision where the organizers
only gave us five minutes on the pre-race
grid. We had cold res, and I did lap one
easy to warm the res but then started
to push on lap two and crashed. This was
the same thing that happened to Jake. So,
a er that, the bike was dead and I couldn't
restart. And I had to take the second bike
for Sunday, which was not perfect in the
warmup. I must say a big thanks to the

10th in race two to finish third. (Below) Bobby Fong bullied his
way to second in race one.
