COOPER ABBOTT
Hart was not happy about finishing second overall and is looking to improve by the next race in Amarillo , Texas in two weeks . “ I got a beat down . KTM wants to win and I don ’ t like getting second . That second race , I came up an inch short and went over the bars so I had to ride really hard get back up to third . I will work hard the next two weeks and come back stronger for the next one .”
Abbott established himself as a solid podium contender with a great hot-lap and three solid motos . “ I struggled with starts all night so I definitely made it hard on myself . I went 3-2-3 on the moto scores which I am happy about but I know I am there with those guys now . So I will work on my starts and work to battle more with those top two guys ."
