said. "In past years, I've strug-
gled here and Southwick, but
this year I feel like I've got some
good sand riding in me. The
starts weren't great, and I had a
little tip-over in the second moto,
but I can't really be too bummed.

Mosiman. "Just before the sight lap in
moto one, I tried a new goo product,
and I ended up throwing up everything
I ate right before the sight lap, so that

had some bike issues in the la er half
of the moto. In the second moto, it was
basically the same story. Really frustrat-
ing day. I'm looking for more, expec ng
