limits of it," added Baggett. "But
I still don't feel like I did on the
Lites bike. I'm just still trying to
get used to it. The big bike, when
it spits you off it hurts a lot more
than the Lites bike. You can just
hold it wide open on the Lites
bike and cartwheel it and most of
the time you're all right. Most of
the time this big bike will chase
you down and just punt you into
the dirt. I'm just trying to be smart
with it. Trying to keep it on two
wheels and just slowly improve."
HRC Honda's Fredrik Noren
tied a career-best finish that he
scored at RedBud, going 8-5 to
finish in seventh overall. Noren's
Baggett. "Some weekends defi-
nitely don't show it, but I'm just
trying to learn and get better and
eventually be able to be up front
with Dungey and Barcia and be
battling for wins like I did on the
Lites bikes. I'm just still figuring
out the big bike and trying to
eliminate mistakes. Of course
I still make a lot in a 30-minute
moto, but just trying to get bet-
ter and improve. Taking each
weekend and each moto one at
a time.
"I feel like I get more comfort-
able with the bike towards the
end of the motos and then I push
the limits of it a little bit more, my
then I can put it all together, if
that makes sense."
In the Suzuki camp, while
RCH Soaring Eagle/Jimmy
Johns Suzuki's Ken Roczen
seems to be fading, Yoshimura
Suzuki's Blake Baggett is com-
ing on stronger each week, this
week his 4-3 trumped Roczen's
3-4 for third overall.
"I'm trying to get better and
better each weekend," said
Blake Baggett
continues to do
well as a 450-class
rookie. He finished
out the day on the
podium.
