"I'm really bummed with the crash and injuries today. I was really hoping to have a great weekend but we did our best and things just didn't work out. Hoping I'll get good news from the doctor when I get home and can get back to racing real soon. Thanks to my awesome team, sponsors, and fans for all the love. It's been a tough year so far but I'm going to keep working hard and I look forward to coming back strong.” - Aaron Gwin
“Really happy with how this weekend turned out. The first half of this year has been a bit of a struggle, and after a lot of hard work, I finally feel like things are starting to turn around. Lets keep it rolling for Les Gets." - Jack Moir
"This weekend was a rough one for me as I struggled with arm pump on this long, steep track. I had a strategy for my race run, but it didn’t quite work out and I missed the cut for finals. Bummed about the way that went down, but looking onward to next weekend and coming back stronger.” - Neko Mulally
“In short, I’m not one who believes much in ‘bad luck’ or ‘we just need a break’. I believe most happens due to circumstance, most of which are within our control. As a race team, we are here to represent our sponsors and partners to the best of our abilities. For that reason, I think our race went well. On one hand a tough situation for Aaron, and on the other hand a great result for Jack. So I guess we accept the positives and negatives equally, and progress forward. For now, Aaron is heading home to see a specialist regarding his shoulder injuries, and then we’ll take it from there. I’ll update you as we know more.” - Todd Schumlick
