with the rule changes, it's been
tough. We've been struggling
trying to find our footing. Finally
tonight, we unloaded and were
fast all day.
"This is huge—this is the hard-
est track to win at, physically. I'm
really happy to get the monkey
off my back. It feels great to get
back on top of the box."

reminded the paddock of his natural
abili es with an impressive climb up the
field to an eventual sixth-place effort in
his '22 class debut. He said "First me
back on a twin in a while now. I came
in pre y confident—Lima is kind of my

event, but I miraculously found the line I
was looking for all day long. I think I was
second-to-last at one point and ended up
sixth. Overall, to walk away with a sixth
on a bike I've never ridden, with a new
team, new everything, we'll take it and
keep building from here."

strap on a helmet and earn a
podium finish with a late-race
pass on Briar Bauman.
