"We did a lot of good work leading into this race, and it showed. In the first moto, I think I was around fourth or fi h on the start and kind of just stayed there and rode okay—I was miss- ing a few lines and a few jumps. There were some technical jumps out there, and there was one double that I was missing, so I felt like that kept me away from the leaders. In the second moto, I had the be er race lines and just rode be er on those technical jumps. We made a couple of li le changes between the moto to get the bike balanced, so I was able to just go forward that me." 5 RYAN DUNGEY 7TH (6-7) 450MX "First moto was decent, I got a pre y good start and then just kind of hung around in fi h or sixth, and saw the guys in front of me. I wanted to go, I just couldn't pick up the pace and get them, but I was happy with the ride. We tried to make some changes for the second moto but we went the wrong way. I had a good start, ba led with Tony a lot and ul mately put another two motos in the bank to physically get fi er and stronger as we start building. I'm just trying to get be er and be er."
