JOAN CROS
Joan Cros had a fantastic day in Indianapolis at Round 5 of Monster Energy Supercross.
He adapted to the Indy dirt quickly and was looking smooth and confident. He qualified just outside the top 30 and was ready for gate drop. When the Heat began, Joan didn’t quite get the jump he needed to contend for a qualifying position but charged forward the best he could. When the LCQ began, Joan launched out of the gate in typical fashion, tucked to the inside of the first corner and settled in right behind his teammate well inside the top 4. Joan fought as hard as he could but would fall just a few spots short by the checkers.
BUBBA PAULI
Bubba Pauli was looking confident when practice began on Tuesday. He got used to the dirt quickly as it is similar to what he rides at home just one state away. Bubba put in some fast laps and was ready to go racing. He looked strong in his Heat race but would fall below qualifying position. When the LCQ began, Bubba launched off the gate and was neck and neck for the lead down the first rhythm section. He settled into 2nd place quickly and was putting down some heaters. He was running lap times two full seconds faster than he had put down all day. Unfortunately he would get passed on the last lap and barely miss out on qualifying position.
