Roczen dominated all three
main events. The former WSX
World Champion battled a
stomach bug during his interna-
tional trip but saved his energy
for when he needed it most. The
Pipes Motorsports Suzuki rider
topped the afternoon qualifying
session and posted the fastest
time in the following Superpole
lap. From there, it was smooth
sailing for the German native,
as good starts put him up front
from the get-go. Wins in both of
the sprint races laid the founda

Roczen heads into round two
with the points lead in the SX1
division.

zen said. "With the track and
the moisture, there's a fine line
between pushing for speed
and sliding out and making
mistakes. I had fun out there. I
thought the track was awesome,
and I had an incredible night."

scores on the night. The Ameri-
