MXGP transplant Mikkel Haarup
found himself towards the front in

one and made passes on the first lap
for the first time! That was good. I am
getting the intensity up a little bit. I
had a bad jump in the second moto
and was in the pack. I took a trip into
the fence and had to untangle myself
but came from dead last to [13th]. I'm
happy with my efforts."

7TH (13-6) 250MX
Casey Cochran was seventh overall,
matching his career-best P7 finish
from RedBud last year. "We made
some big improvements! Unfortu-
nately, it was a bad start that cost
me in the first moto because I had
to work through a lot of traffic in that
one. I'm happy with my riding; had a
good start in the second moto with a
solid finish, so we're looking forward
to keeping this momentum going!"
