‰ÛÏEarlier, I said if I win, get third, or fifth, it doesn‰Ûªt matter and I‰Ûªll be happy, but when I came off the track, it did matter to me," Roczen explained." "I really wanted to win. I was bummed because halfway through, I had the speed and was catching those guys, but I made a mistake where I scrubbed and dragged my boot on the ground and almost crashed.
"I was riding a little tight and tried to shake it off, but towards the end I tried to just keep it smart. I didn‰Ûªt want to do anything stupid because there‰Ûªs a lot of racing left. The more I think about it, fourth place isn‰Ûªt too bad. We could‰Ûªve had a way worse night, and I really think without that mistake I would‰Ûªve been on the podium.
"There were some nerves on the line just due to lack of experience starting with 20 riders. I kind of messed up both times and just dumped the clutch, so I was pretty far back in the main event, which was a little sketchy. I think if I had gotten a better start, my night would‰Ûªve been even better. I‰Ûªm happy to be here and excited to keep racing,"
