P1 | Ken Roczen (Progressive Insurance Cycle Gear Suzuki):
Cleveland, you are next level. Honestly, the entire weekend, I had an absolute blast. We had a lot of things going on with KR merch collab-ing with Machine Gun Kelly’s coffee shop. We had a lot of fans showing up, it was awesome. I spent about [two] hours there with everybody, and we had a great time. And then also at Shooters, we had the AC and JB podcast. A lot of people showed up for that. We just overall had a great weekend to start, and then Saturday, with the potential of rain and a Triple Crown, it was [suddenly] a recipe for chaos. But I have to say, for everything that was thrown at us today with the weather, we did a phenomenal job as a team. It’s not easy getting ready three times for three main events, because they all count. Starts are really important, and the track itself was extremely difficult due to how hardpacked it was, how rutted it got, [and] how slippery it was. So, getting the win here with the 2-2-1, it was just an absolute next-level experience. I’m really taking these moments in, [and I] can’t wait for next weekend. We had a blast. It’s time to go home, recharge, and then come back to Philly.

P2 | Cooper Webb (Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing):
Cleveland Triple Crown P2. [I] rode tight in the first main, but felt pretty good in the last two. Three to go – we’ll keep chasing wins and see where the cards fall. Always special to race in a new stadium with new fans. Absolute troopers in the weather. Thank you, Ohio.

P3 | Justin Cooper (Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing):
[Third in] Cleveland. It felt good to take another race win, and I’m happy with my riding these past few weeks. Winners take all heading into the final main, and NBA JCoop took a little ride on Endonesia Air. Thankful to ride it out for a podium – let’s keep building.

P4 | Chase Sexton (Monster Energy Kawasaki):
Cleveland was a tough night with how much the track changed from start to finish, but I’m taking a lot of positives out of it. I felt more comfortable on the bike as the night went on and started to find a better flow in the later races, which is something we’ve been building toward. The results don’t fully show it, but I feel like we’re getting closer each weekend. Now it’s about putting everything together for a full night in Philly next week.

P5 | Joey Savatgy (Quad Lock Honda):
P5 on the night. Tough night for me, crossing the holeshot line in P14, P13, and P18. I know I have more, but starting back there is doing me no good. Riding is getting better, onto the next.

P6 | Hunter Lawrence (Honda HRC Progressive):
For this Triple Crown, we had a lot of weather coming in. The day started really well, as I was P1 in qualifying. In the first race, I had a good start and checked out. In races two and three, I just didn’t get the best starts, just couldn’t get the traction I needed, and made it tough on myself. When you don’t get a good start, you get put in not the best situations, and the last race kind of all came undone. I had a crash in the rutted whoop section, and then another rider hit my front wheel. We salvaged only losing nine points, which feels better than what I thought it was going to be, for how bad the last one was. On to Philadelphia now.

P7 | Malcolm Stewart (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing):
The vibes were high in Cleveland – the crowd was awesome. Qualifying was great for me, and then of course, we had the Triple Crown with the weather beginning to roll in. I felt really good in race one, and then in the second one, I started making some mistakes, with the third one being pretty sloppy after the rain. I lost the flow in race three, but we brought it home in seventh overall, and we’ll look at improving next weekend.

P8 | Justin Hill (Team Tedder Racing KTM):
Triple Crown in Cleveland was a wild night, with lots of different conditions throughout the day. The first two mains were about last place starts off the slippery grate. Third race, I was mid-pack or so at the start, but I charged as hard as I could and got to a podium spot. 10-11-3 for eighth. My riding is exactly where I want it. I can’t say I’ve ever had this much belief in myself – Philly up next, we’re going after them.

P1 | Nate Thrasher (Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing):
P1 in Cleveland. Everything clicked yesterday – great starts, solid laps, and just kept progressing each time on the track. Feels good to put another one on the board. Appreciate the whole Star Racing Yamaha crew – Philly next.

P2 | Landen Gordon (Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing):
WOW, what a night in Cleveland! 4-2-2 for second overall in my second pro race. Been working my ass off for these moments, just had to believe in myself, thank you to my family and team for making this possible.

P3 | Cole Davies (Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing):
P3 in Cleveland, eyes on Philly.

P4 | Seth Hammaker (Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki):
Today started off feeling really good. The track was in great shape early on before the weather came in, and I felt strong in the first race, getting the win. After that, the conditions changed a lot with the rain, and it made things pretty challenging. I had a crash off the start in the final race and had to come from the back of the field, but I put my head down and charged as far forward as I could to sixth. Being one spot off the podium and fourth overall is tough, especially since I feel like I’ve been riding the best I have all season. The last couple of weekends haven’t gone my way, but I’m looking forward to bouncing back at my hometown race in Philly.

P5 | Daxton Bennick (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing):
Qualifying was dry in Cleveland, and I felt like I rode pretty well. The first race was also dry, and I was third, but then it rained really heavily in the second one, which made conditions probably the worst that they were. I didn’t start well in that one, but got back to fifth, and then in the third race, I was P3, but in the end, it was a little short of the podium. Overall, I’m excited for next weekend.

P6 | Coty Schock (ClubMX Yamaha Racing Team):
P6 for Cleveland! Honestly, I had so much fun. Grateful for these moments and ready to bring the vibes into the hometown crowd next weekend in Philadelphia.

P7 | Devin Simonson (ClubMX Yamaha Racing Team):
Cleveland, 12-6-5 for seventh. Heavy crash in the first moto while in fourth, honestly, I’m just happy to be healthy from that and able to fight the rest of the night.

P8 | Derek Kelley (MX6 Racing Kawasaki):
Triple Crown in the rain was a fun curveball to navigate. Happy to bounce back after a stinky performance in Nashville. Eighth overall on the day, with steps back in the right direction. It was a crazy day with weather, track conditions, and bikes flying in every direction, so I was happy to be able to overcome some obstacles and have three solid motos! Let’s finish this season out strong and put eyes on the outdoors.
