After I got surgery, something clicked, especially my confidence knowing that you can race hard for fifteen minutes. I had carpal tunnel, so it really cost me when the race time came, because I could not hold on to the bike for more than two laps. I have always had some moments of speed last year, but I was struggling with my arm. I’m used to the bike, even when I got back from boot camp in October, I told the team “I want the same settings as Salt Lake last year, because that is when I did a really good job in qualifying.” I am not really a picky guy as far as set up wise, so the team does a good job with that. WOULD YOU ATTRIBUTE IT TO BEING ON THE SAME TEAM AS LAST YEAR? Part of it yes. LAST YEAR, YOU DID REALLY WELL AND FINISHED FIFTH OVERALL, BUT NOW HAVE TAKEN ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.

I just have to put it together for the last two races, get a good start and ride my own race. I did not really believe that I could be in the position as where now, my starts are terrible but once I get going, I know I can be up there.

All the boys and I were getting along well. Coming into the year, Garrett was feeling good. Phil (Nicoletti) got hurt, unfortunately and so did Garrett (Marchbanks).

I SUSPECT WITH A BETTER START YOU COULD HAVE HAD A CHANCE A WINNING. I had a blast.Įnzo blends in with the rain and crowd at East Rutherford. I did not have too much fun cleaning myself after, but it was nice racing the boys. I was seventh around the first lap, and later three seconds off the podium, right behind Max Vohland and Hunter Lawrence. I felt like if I would have had a little bit of a better start, I could have podiumed. I was happy because I grew up in Brazil riding in the mud because where I lived, it rained a lot. Then it was a completely different track. Then when the Main arrived and there was lightning, we had to wait for two hours. It was completely different from anything I had seen before because we got to practice on a dry track and do the heat race on the dry track.
