The second round of the AMA Supercross 250 West had in Jordon Smith the great winner, with the Yamaha rider to take also the result to get to the top of the championship standings.
Speaking of his main event to his team, he said: ‘It feels incredible to get this win. I’m going to soak this in for a couple of days, for sure. I felt like I was all alone out there for a little while. I came through the second or third lap, and I couldn’t really see anyone behind me. Then the halfway flag came out, and I was like, ‘Man, I’ve got to do that again?’ It was a shortened race, but it felt longer. I was so pumped to get the win’.
The weather made itself notice, making the track conditions real tricky: ‘Especially with it being a mudder, and with the situation that I feel like I’m in this year – being a title guy and needing to put myself in that position every week. So I think to be able to pull it off tonight and to make it work when I’m not the best in the mud, not as confident in the mud, was huge’.
