The second round of the AMA Supercross 250 West had Jordon Smith as the big winner, with the Yamaha rider also taking advantage of the result to reach the top of the championship standings.
When talking about the main event of the night, he said to his team: ‘It’s an incredible feeling to achieve this victory. I’m going to soak it in for a few days, for sure. I felt like I was alone for a while. I got to the second or third lap and couldn’t see anyone behind me. Then the halfway flag came out and I thought, ‘Man, do I have to do this again?’ It was a shorter race, but it felt longer. I was so excited to have gotten the win’.
The weather made itself noticed, making the track conditions very difficult: ‘Especially because it was a muddy track, and with the situation I’m in this year – being a title contender and needing to put myself in that position every week. So, I think being able to do this tonight and make it work when I’m not the best in the mud, I’m not as confident in the mud, was very important’.
