My Own Race:
984 CHRIS BACH 4TH PLACE
"I was definitely more comfortable here [than at the Adel-
anto Grand Prix last week]," Maxxis/Pro Circuit/Fly Racing
CRF450R-mounted Chris Bach said. "My start sucked, for
sure. I was definitely last off the line. By the time we went
up that first slickrock there less than a mile in, they said I
was up to 15th or something and Jimmy Jarrett was right
in front of me. I was definitely more comfortable [than last
week], but the first couple laps I was still pretty timid—I'm
still not totally comfortable with that high-speed stuff and
these guys are just pinning it across sand whoops. But
I got more comfortable as the day went on, for sure. I'm
pretty happy with a fourth.
762 AXEL PEARSON 6TH PLACE
"I was back with Chris Bach for a little bit and he actual-
ly helped me out the last couple laps, because I started
following his lines and he just had a good, smooth pace.
He actually saved me the last couple laps, because I had
some blisters and I crashed a couple times; I was kind of
done, actually. I definitely need to work on a few things.
I don't think I ate enough this morning because halfway
through I felt hungry. My energy went down."
310J JOEY FIASCONARO 1ST FMF 250CC
PRO/11TH OVERALL
"I got a bad start—the bike didn't start on the first kick," said
Joey Fiasconaro. "I picked off a few people on the start
because they kept going down. After that, the second lap,
I was pretty much by myself for the rest of the race. It's defi-
nitely hard to set the pace when you're by yourself! I knew
I had to be up there quite a ways so I kept pushing—you al-
ways push; never give up! Probably the middle of the race,
I was starting to fade pretty bad." The Sierra Motorsports
of Grass Valley/NorCal Suspension Services/NorCal M.C.
KTM 250 SX-mounted Fiasconaro held on to win the FMF
250cc Pro class.
