Buon ascolto/lettura!

ELI TOMAC

“Stasera era difficile, credo che se davanti a me non ci fosse stato Dungey e avrei fatto secondo o anche terzo sarebbe stato un risultato ottimo! Ma Dungey è ancora davanti in campionato e io devo scendere in pista col pensiero di fare meglio di quanto posso fare, sopratutto vincere! Nella mia testa ho il pensiero di essere quello che insegue e non posso mollare, devo andare avanti a spingere sempre, fino a quando non chiudo il gap! Mi volevo mettere in una buona posizione per il main event, ma non ho fatto una buona gara di qualifica, ma ho ottenuto molti riscontri per il main e sono stato in grado di capitalizzare. Mi sono sentito molto fortunato ad avere quel nono posto al cancello. C’erano fattori rischiosi nella scelta del cancelletto, sia per quelli esterni che per quelli interni. Ho scoperto durante le Heat che quelli interni non funzionavano per il mio stile così ho ho scelto di stare all’esterno. Non ero uno dei primi in partenza ma sono riuscito a stare fuori dai problemi della prima curva. E’ stato un altro tracciato difficile e sono fortunato di essere riuscito a vincere.Mi sono sentito buono e confortevole. Questo è quello che volevamo stasera su questa superficie molto scivolosa e sono stato in grado di attaccare. E ‘stata davvero un’altra buona notte di gare.”

MARVIN MUSQUIN

“Sono riuscito a fare holeshot stasera e mi è stato molto d’aiuto! Speravo di farlo perché stasera era molto importante partire bene e davanti, moltissimo! La pista non mi ha messo a mio agio, per questo speravo di partire bene e tenere la posizione, così sono riuscito a mantenere la seconda posizione, questo era il mio obbiettivo della serata. Non credo di poter fare meglio di quello che ho fatto, ho provato a tirare subito ma non ero proprio a mio agio, anche perché il terreno non aveva molta aderenza e si scivolava parecchio.”

RYAN DUNGEY

“In gara ci sono mille attenuanti da tener conto e molte volte non riesci nemmeno a gestirle, il mio obbiettivo era sistemare la moto con una messa a punto ottimale e questo era il mio obbiettivo della serata. Tutta la serata non ho toccato la moto credendo di aver trovato il set-up giusto, ma per il main event ho deciso di intervenire, forse il fondo del tracciato mi ha spinto a questa scelta, probabilmente è stato questo il mio errore, non dovevo toccare nulla e probabilmente avrei fatto meglio, anche se non sono partito bene. Stavo cercando la gara perfetta ed esigo molto da me stesso in questo, purtroppo è andata così, ho perso altri punti ma forse il campionato non è nella mia testa, ci si poteva fare male e ringrazio di aver chiuso la gara sano.”

JORDON SMITH

“E ‘stata una giornata incredibile. Ho dovuto andare al LCQ (Last Change Qualifier) e sono riuscito a vincere. “Nel main event, ho fatto un’ottima partenza dall’esterno. Ho dovuto fare un paio di sorpassi tosti perché la pista era davvero difficile, che è stata la causa per cui tanti piloti commettevano errori. Sono così grato per tutto a tante persone. E ‘una sensazione incredibile vincere e io non vedo l’ora di condividela con tutti “.

Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, took over Ford Field for its 12thround of the 2017 season and showcased bar-to-bar racing in front of 46,324 fans. The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Eli Tomac continued to prove he’s on a mission for the championship as he claimed his fourth-straight victory, bringing him just seven points back of reigning champion Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Ryan Dungey. A wild Eastern Regional 250SX Class race saw Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM’s Jordon Smith take his first career victory on the final lap. Entering points leader Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider Zach Osborne finished 18th and relinquished the championship lead to Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Joey Savatgy.

Opening the Main Event was Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin grabbing the SupercrossLive.com Holeshot. At the end of the opening lap, it was Musquin leading with Tomac and RMATV/MC-WPS-KTM’s Davi Millsaps close. As the leader pulled a gap on the rest of the field, points leader Dungey came around the opening lap in seventh.
 
It only took three laps for Tomac to make his move on the KTM rider Musquin and start his charge to pull away from the pack. Musquin did his best to put up a fight, but the Kawasaki rider quickly put seconds on second place. While Tomac was lengthening his lead out front, Dungey was busy making up as many points as possible, moving into fifth on Lap 3. He quickly got by Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Josh Grant for fourth, but it took more time to get by Millsaps, making his move for the final podium spot on Lap 21.
 
Tomac would cross the finish line 8.4 seconds ahead of Musquin, who was just two seconds ahead of his teammate Dungey.

“I’m putting myself in a good position in the main event. I didn’t do that in the heat race, but got my act together for the main and was able to capitalize,” said Tomac. “I felt very fortunate for having that ninth gate pick. I just felt good and comfortable. This is what we wanted tonight on this sketchy surface and I was able to attack it. It was another really good night of racing.”
 
Prior to the start of Tomac’s win-streak, he faced a 27-point deficit to Dungey. Tomac’s fourth-straight win and seventh victory this season places him only seven points back of the championship lead with five races remaining. Musquin gained solo hold of third in the standings, sitting 47 points behind Dungey.
 
“I think the hardest thing is where we’ve been during the first lap over the past few races,” said Dungey. “I can’t do anything back there. Eli is out front and I’m not able to do anything. But we did charge hard for third. We have to put ourselves in a better position at the start but we’ll work through it. We need to start turning it up here over the next few races.”
Dungey was forced to come through the pack once more.

The Eastern Regional 250SX Class Main Event started with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo grabbing the SupercrossLive.com Holeshot, but a pileup behind him collected entering point’s leader Osborne. As the opening lap commenced, it was Cianciarulo, Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha’s Dylan Ferrandis, Savatgy, and Smith all together in the hunt for the lead.
 
The riders were barely around their first lap when Ferrandis got by Cianciarulo, and then on Lap 2 Savatgy pulled into the lead with Cianciarulo in tow. On Lap 3, Cianciarulo went down and Ferrandis and Smith raced by, but the Kawasaki rider was able to remount in fourth. On Lap 5 while leading, Savatgy surrendered the lead to Ferrandis after going down.
 
The Frenchman Yamaha rider would chalk up another eight laps in the lead before the duo of Smith and Savatgy over took him for the top two spots, respectively, on Lap 13. With championship implications for both riders, Smith and Savatgy duked it out with Savatgy entering the final lap with the lead. Just a few corners after receiving the white flag, Smith sped by Savatgy and was able to hold on to receive the checkered flag and celebrate his first career victory.
 
As Smith took his spot on top of the podium and Savatgy second, remarkably Cianciarulo came from several seconds back to secure the final podium position in third after passing Ferrandis with two laps to go. Entering points leader Osborne was able to return to the race, but ultimately finished 18th and relinquished the points lead to Savatgy.

“It was an unbelievable day. I had to go to the LCQ (Last Change Qualifier) and I won that,” said Smith. “[In the main], I got a great start from the outside. I had to make a few passes and the track was really tough, which was causing people to make mistakes. I’m so thankful for so many people. It’s an amazing feeling [to win] and I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”
 
The shake-up of Osborne’s 18th-place finish propelled Savatgy into the Eastern Regional 250SX Championship lead with nine points over Detroit winner Smith. Osborne is third and 10 points back of Savatgy.
 
The 2017 Monster Energy Supercross season continues next Saturday, April 1, for the 13th round of the championship inside The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis. Live broadcast coverage can be seen on FS1 beginning at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET.
Savatgy (17) nearly had his second win of the season, but regained the points lead.
