weekend, and then my starts were
awesome in all of the races."
"I have mixed feelings," said
Roczen. "My starts are still not
great, and I have to say, and this
is not an excuse by any means,
but I struggled with this dirt, big
time—it's just not my favorite at
all. I'm also on new suspension,
so I just felt a little bit unfamiliar,
but I tried as hard as I could.
The most important thing is
that we're healthy and we tried
everything we can to do the best,
and now we have 10 days now
to reset, come back in Abu Dhabi
and try to win there."
"I'm happy," said Savatgy. "My
starts were better on Sunday

an intense weekend with a lot of
racing. It was very hot on Sunday
The SuperFinal was again all
Tomac as he led the finale from
start to finish. The points leader
nearly swept the entire weekend,
winning seven out of eight motos
during the doubleheader. Savatgy
and Roczen again rounded out
the box in the combined WSX/
SX2 race, taking second and
third overall for the night. Tomac
continues to lead the points going
into the series finale in Abu Dhabi.
"It's been a very memorable

win in one moto," said Tomac. "It
was awesome for us to win seven
out of eight races and then win
SuperPole on Sunday. Perth was a
very interesting track, with soil we
don't race on normally, so that was
challenging all weekend, and then
just another great weekend on
points. I've built up a solid lead. I
Race two saw the best battle
of the season. Both Tomac
and Roczen found themselves
shuffled back after a hectic first
turn, giving the lead to the Fire

Power Honda duo of Savatgy and
Wilson. With Savatgy
out front,
Roczen and Tomac duked it out
for the final spots on the podium.
The two rivals eventually made
their way around Wilson and
crossed the line, with Roczen sec

win
in race two ultimately put an
end to Tomac's reign.
Tomac fired back in the third

by
five seconds over Savatgy.
Roczen rebounded to third after
dropping back to sixth near the
halfway mark.
