both motos at High Point. He
is the only rider who managed
to pass Jett for the lead in the
first four rounds. For a time, it
looked like Roczen would break
Lawrence's moto-win streak, but
a late-race crash with just two
laps to go in moto one dropped
"I came here to give the
fans what they wanted to see,"
Roczen said. "This was a brutal
track to come back to first!"
"Kickstart Kenny" was the first
real threat to Lawrence since
the second moto at the opening
round at Pala, as he led laps in
VOLUME ISSUE JUNE , P73
2 COOPER WEBB
5TH (3-6) 450MX
Cooper Webb landed third in moto
one but a sixth in the second moto
dropped him to fifth overall. "The
second qualifier was good with a P2,
before in the first moto I got a great
start, rode consistent, solid, and got
third, which was a good step. Second
moto, just got an average start and
didn't do much with it and ended up
sixth. Fifth overall on the day—not our
best day, not our worst day."
58 JORDON SMITH
13TH (15-10) 250MX
Like many, Jordon Smith struggled
with the track's ruts and soft condi-
tions. "It was a tough day," he said.
"The track was gnarly. It's been a
long time since I've seen a track
like that, so I was kind of struggling
all day. I went down in the second
turn in the first moto and then went
down again hard, so I was struggling
through that first moto. The second
moto was a little better. I got a better
start and just tried to hit some lines
the best I could. We were struggling,
but I held it together for a top 10."
