I struggled in the beginning, and also at round 2 in Arizona, in a technical section. After that race, I realized I really needed to focus on the technical stuff. My speed is fine when the courses are more open like motocross, but I needed to make improvements in the off-road stuff.

He crashed on the opening lap and quickly remounted the bike. He had to finish the moto, or his championship hopes would be lost. Lawrence managed to finish in 8th<\/sup>. That gave him an 11-point lead over Cooper. Lawrence needed a 7th<\/sup> place finish or better in the second moto to clinch the title. Lawrence went down again after the second moto after chasing down Max Vohland. Up front Cooper was in the lead. Lawrence regained composure and began working his way up. With just minutes to go, Lawrence managed to finish in third place.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\u201cIt feels so great,\u201d exclaimed Lawrence. \u201cI rode\u00a0so\u00a0<\/em>bad today and Cooper rode awesome.
