race but eventually found himself
at the front. Hampshire simply
rode away from the rest of the
pack, looking as if he'd been
there all season long.
Moto two saw the number-24
charge 'til the end and make a
decisive pass that earned him the
and eager to keep that momentum
rolling. But it was RJ Hampshire
who had plans of his own and rode

"In moto two, I got shuffled off
the start and wasn't able to get to
the front as early as I wanted to,"
Tomac said. "It was frustrating to-
wards the end of the race. I just
had a harder time getting past
guys in moto two. I need to do a
bit of work and get it figured out,
but can't complain too much,
gaining points on the day."
Ken Roczen found himself
back on the box at Budds Creek.
After starting the season strong
and even winning the Thunder
Valley National, the 94 machine
has been in a bit of a slump
lately. Roczen's day started with
the fastest qualifying time and
good starts in both motos put
him at the front of the field. He
led five total laps en route to the
final spot on the overall podium,
his first since the win in Colo-
rado. Roczen is fourth in points,
25 back from Anderson.
"It's been a long time since
I've been up here," Roczen said.
"We're stepping in the right di-
rection. Overall, we made some
changes, but podiums are hard
to get these days, at least for
me, never mind winning. I was
just excited, I had good speed
this morning. In the end, I was
able to put up a fight and found
myself on the podium."
