podium for the third straight time.
"I tried to put on a charge in the
middle, but he was strong and
rode a great race. He was better

Although there are still three
rounds of Supercross remaining,
Roczen seems to be looking be-

"I just started riding outdoors
this week and now we'll start
some testing to get the bike di-
