2009 AMA Pro Road Racing - Barber Picture 36 of 37

Dani Eslick: 'It was definitely a surprise, I was running just a little better than the top 10 and picked a couple of guys off, and was stuck in [a battle for] fifth going back and forth with Chaz (Davies). That was the pace that I was comfortable at and that was pushing it. We were all over the place, so I didn't want to crash and give a whole bunch of points away, I just wanted to finish and get through this weekend without losing too many points and move on. Third is awesome.'
