"Same as last weekend, we were a little bit further off the leader's pace, but I got a great start that second one and tried to run up there as long as I could. It was a tough day, just super warm and super rough but I'm happy to be on the podium. I usually struggle here, so I'm stoked with that." "Second moto was just straight misery," said Roczen. "Big congratulations to Dylan Ferrandis and his team," Roczen later said. "You guys did a great job this year and were super tough to beat. Good job again for a strong outdoor season."
