"With this being our last race, I want-
ed to see how fast I could actually

be on top of her game.' So, Megan
[from Ohlins] was able to fix some

I didn't exactly know what Josh
(Herrin) had to do, but I knew sure
as hell Josh was going to put up a
fight to bring it down to one more
round, and I knew he was right
there. Congrats to Matty [Scholtz].
Doing Yamaha a favor, doing me a
favor today. It's cool to get it done
early. Again, kind of unexpected. I
haven't been the fastest guy all year,
but I guess kind of luck has been
