MOTOCROSS LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 2/MAY 31, 2014 PRAIRIE CITY OHV PARK/RANCHO CORDOVA, CALIFORNIA P66 former MX2 World champ looked a little more aggressive and com- fortable on the Yamaha en route to 8-3 moto finishes. "It's a new bike," he said. "I've been riding Kawasakis forever and it's not easy for me to get used to a new bike, but I need to get used to it. Last weekend, it was super rough and it was my first weekend back, I took it easy and was kind of smooth and I did what I did. I'm trying to get bet- ter and not crash, and those two guys in front go really fast and I've got to get their pace and get bet- ter every weekend." Pourcel has struggled with his starts since the beginning of the season, including the first moto at Hangtown, where he rounded the first lap in 13th place. "I was mad after the first moto, I got a bad start," Pourcel said. "Like I said, it's a new bike and it's not easy for me to get used to it. The bike is so good and so fast I have a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground off the gate. But overall was a good day for me." CN 450 National 1.
