Round 10

Mechanicsville, Maryland

Budds Creek Motocross Park

August 22, 2009

 

Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammate Michael Byrne finished up the wet weekend with a sixth-place finish overall. Australian Byrne had a rough first moto, charging hard from around 15th place to sixth. Then, in the second moto, he brought home a fifth-place finish with the final result being the sixth-place overall at Budds Creek.

 

Michael Byrne:

“It was an OK race for me. I felt like I rode good, I just didn't get the starts that I needed. In the first moto, I didn't go down but I got caught up in the first corner mess and that kind of ruined my start. Then, I just took too long to get going. I tried to make up time and pass people, but it was too little, too late. But overall, I felt good at the end of both motos, I'm happy Chad got the championship wrapped up -- I'm pumped for him and it's good for team -- and hopefully I can get a win before the end of the year.”
