What do you say Ben – are you 100%?
Yeah I’m getting back there; it’s been a rough ride this season. But I took some time and went back to New Zealand to get my shoulder healthy again. It was a grade three separation, so obviously it took a little bit of time to recover and get back on the bike. I feel good; but obviously we are going to find out today (find out we did, as Ben set the best lap time in the second seeded Lites practice)!
Ben, if we go back to Red Bud, you impressed everyone, except for maybe yourself.
Well the last race that I had done was the Motocross Des nations; I had a couple of really good rides, where I won my heat and then was second in the last heat of the day – so I was pretty happy. I wanted to carry that on into 2006, but then with my injury I had so much time off; I didn’t realize that that gate time, or track time was that important. But at Red Bud I had great fitness in both motos and it showed; still I wasn’t where I wanted to be – and my starts probably hampered that too. All in all it wasn’t too bad, I guess I just expected more.
Going into this weekend, what are your expectations?
Well, I want to do well; I’ve been training hard and everything has been going very well. I don’t see why I cannot go out there and run at the front – there should be no reason why I cannot. If everything goes normal, I should be up there. I’m looking to putting two good motos together and get back to racing. We need to finish off this season well, at this race, the Des nations, and a race that I am going to do in New Zealand and stay away from the injuries that have bugged me this year. I want to have a good mental frame going into next year
