ly gave way to Baggett on lap six.
Moto two saw Martin back
in eighth at the end of lap one,
although the Yamaha rider was
able to move up to sixth by the
midway point of the race.
Martin started off the season
winning five straight motos, but
he has gone 6-2-6 ever since.
Still, the Minnesota-native holds
a 29-point lead over teammate
Cooper Webb in the series
standings and, at least now, isn't
too worried.
"I made some mistakes this
weekend and I know what I did
wrong, so there's no sense of
panic," said Martin. "We just have

two races. But I'm just going to
keep on doing my thing and work
on what I need to improve on and
not worry about anyone else."

with a 7-2 tally.
"I thought I would be up there
a little bit quicker, and have a little
bit better start to the season, but I
think I'll just get better as the sea-
son goes on, especially with this
break coming up this next week-
end," said Anderson. "I've had a
lot of small issues I've had to deal
with, but as long as I can stay
healthy I think I'll just keep getting
better and better."
Anderson said he's had to deal
with some adversity over the past
few months. "I got my wisdom
