All right, Mike Alessie, hey, a much better performance than I, right?

Yeah, it was definitely good. I felt a lot better on the bike.

Everything was just kind of clicking and I felt good.

My starts were a little better, decent, but I felt good on the track and I just kind of put everything together.

How'd the main event go for you? I saw you look like you got, you know,

blitzed really fast in the beginning and then kind of settled down a little bit. Yeah, well,

I felt great in the beginning, but like to be honest with you, I haven't done any 20 lap modos

since Phoenix. I've been just focusing on just eight-lap heat races, you know, just practicing

as fast and as hard as I can for eight laps, so I don't have to do the stupid

LCQs anymore because I really do not like going there. So like I said, the main, I just, I was good

for about 10 laps, and then I just got really winded. So it's a good stepping stone for me to start here,

and it's a good start for me and get things going and I'm excited for next week at Houston.

I heard you made some fork changes this week to your bike and your mechanic was saying you liked

them. Yep, I got my forks better and about good on the track. Turning ability was great.

So just need to work on those starts. Try and get the starts better.

That's going to make a big difference.

Because right now everybody's so fast.

Everyone's, man, everything's doing really the same rhythm.

So it's all about the start.

It's been frustrating for you personally, Mike.

As a two out of four main events missed,

and we all know you're better than that.
