"I felt good all day," said Malcolm Stewart
who is locked in a close ba le for second
in the championship with Anderson and
Barcia. Just six points separate the three. "I
didn't get the best start in the main event,
and I was si ng in fourth and Marvin was

riders ended up going inside and kind of
screwed me up, and I went down. Overall,
I felt good, I just wasn't fast enough to get
on the podium tonight."

coming into Seattle, but a DNF in
Detroit and a sixth in Indianapo-
lis allowed Tomac to put some
serious distance between the
early rivals. At round 12 Anderson
bounced back and put in a solid
result. He rode in third for most
of the race but a big crash from
