Jett Lawrence: “I’m bummed [that Hunter crashed]. I don’t want to [take the points lead] like this. He was right there. It sucks. It is what it is. I know he’s okay, so that’s good, but not how I wanted the day to end up.”

Jorge Prado: “We had three weeks to work on the bike, and we knew exactly what we had to do. I was convinced we were on the right path with my decisions, and today proved it. This was my best performance of the year, and now we’re headed in the right direction. Hopefully a win will come soon.”

Haiden Deegan: “Just keep working hard and it’ll pay off. I’ve kind of struggled with this track in the past, but we came away with a podium today. We’ll keep working and try to come back better next week.”

Cole Davies: “This track was sketchy. I had to get in my flow and step it up. Everyone was riding good, so it was up to me to make it happen like I did. It’s a tight championship now, so we’ll race to the end and hopefully pull it off.”

Levi Kitchen: “I’ve had like 12 [come-from-behind] rides this year. It’s been tough, but I’m trying to stay positive. I’m riding great, and that’s good. I’m glad I didn’t crash, because that was sketchy. I don’t know what the points are, but I know it’s close. We’ll regroup, try to come out swinging, and carry this momentum into Budds Creek.”

Chance Hymas: “I definitely want to be there [atop the podium]. I’m getting glimpses of it and it’s getting frustrating, but I’m keeping my head down and going for it. This was one of the most technical tracks of the year, and I’m feeling really good on the bike. [A win is] coming for sure, but I’m trying to be patient.”
