POURCEL POWER
Speaking of Christophe Pourcel, the
Frenchman also had a good day, his
best of the championship so far, without
question. He made good use of two fast
starts, going 3-5 for fourth overall, put-
ting two Husqvarnas in the top five.
Pourcel was the top qualifier and his
fast riding didn't stop there, as he rock-
eted out to an early moto-one lead (just
missing out on the holeshot to Justin
Barcia), but he then had a small tip over
that cost him. He remounted for a third-
place finish. A fifth in moto two would
be good enough for fourth place overall.
He obviously gelled with the High Point
track, and he also showed that his fit-
ness is improving.
GETTING THERE
Justin Barcia continues to put his Au-
totrader.com/Toyota/JGRMX Yamaha
in the mix of things but needs to find a
little more speed to keep it there. Barcia
nabbed the holeshot in the first moto
and led a lap before giving way to both
Dungey and Roczen, and eventually the
Husky's of Anderson and Pourcel.
In the second moto, Barcia started off
in fourth and managed to keep it there
for fourth overall (5-4). It was a good
ride for Barcia but he knows it should be
better.
BAGGETT'S BAD LUCK
Blake Baggett came into the High Point
National sitting just three points back
Joey Savatgy (37) finished out his day with
a third in the 250 class second moto.
