Webb finished closely behind Roczen for his third consecu- tive second-place finish. The defending champion remains mathematically in the points chase, which seems to have lit a new fire in him, as evidenced by a recent string of podiums. Webb looked good in the less-than-ideal conditions and continued to jump most of the rhythm lanes late in the race. He was the fastest rider on track for the second half of the race and gained critical ground while Roc - zen faced lapped traffic. Despite Webb's effort to cut the gap to less than a second at one point, he never got close enough to make a pass and settled for the runner-up position. Webb was visibly frustrated on the podium, knowing a win in Philly could've swung the momentum his way. "It got crazy at the end. I just went full-send," Webb said. "It's a bummer to get second after riding that flawless of a race, but we were pushing hard. I got close at the end, but lappers dictated some of it at the end and helped Kenny or hurt me, or vice versa. I felt like tonight was an opportunity I needed to make the most of and just didn't quite pull it off. Overall, a great ride." MYOWNRACE a so-so start in the main event. I unfortunately hit someone and went down on the first lap, putting me in last. I made a good charge, but then they restarted it, and I went from last to ninth again. Then I went down yet again and ended up in 14th. It was a so-so day, but I'm happy with the progress, even though it was in the mud with the [heat] win."
