age—we changed everything,"
Baggett said. "So, just trying to
start fresh coming in here. It's
been a while since we've been
on the podium and getting on
the new bike, just wasn't that
comfortable yet. Still going to
take a few rounds until we can
battle for wins, but at least we
led a little bit. We'll get there.
We'll be up on the top spot
soon."

last weekend, but you know,
even that first moto wasn't so
hot," Anderson said of his moto-
one fifth-place finish. "I need to
put myself in a better position.
But I'm super excited to come
out with that win. Really wish I
could have done better that first
moto so I could have gotten the
overall, but pumped for my dude
Marvin."
Musquin's 1-3 score garnered
him his first-ever 450MX Na-

Kawasaki teammates
