Rebounding from a late race crash while leading the SportbikeTrack Gear.com Junior Cup Race 1 at Laguna, Gus Rodio avoided a crash by another rider in Race 2 to claim 2^nd place on the podium. In Race 1 Gus set the fastest lap time of the race but could not capitalize with a podium finish.

Gus Rodio: I was super happy to end the weekend on the box, after crashing out of the lead in Race 1. I can’t thank my crew enough for the work they put in for me. Cannot wait to get to Brainerd, the only MotoAmerica circuit I have a lap record at.
