Simon Langenfelder: It wasn't easy. The track was rough and one line, but fun to ride. The lapped riders, played so much in these races. I made some mistakes, but the lappers kill me. It was a good one. Really tricky, but I like that. I made it happen and got the red plate back.

Guillem Farres: Feeling good, but frustrated with the first moto, got together with a lapper, but it happens. I could have gottne the overall, so that makes me angry.

Liam Everts: I think I lost a lot in the start and it was hard to pass. Some tough weekends, been dealing with some things, but happy to be on the box and we are going to fight hard.
