From a Saturday crash to a Sunday win — that's what being a racer is about. I know that feeling of turning frustration into throttle. A 2.5-second gap over Martin is bigger than the number suggests. Not carrying yesterday's mistake into today is exactly what separates riders who survive this sport from those who don't. That's who I trust.

2.5s back — feels like Martin got dropped harder than expected.
