Cole charging hard in the 2nd practice trying to improve his 1:57.105 from the 1st practice. He was only able to turn a 1:59.344 as the track did rough up and was not as fast as in the 1st session.Photo by Rob Koy

Cole takes the lead in turn two after Trey Canard was credited with the holeshot in turn one. Looks like the Honda guys might have their starting issues fixed for the outdoors, at least in the first moto at Hangtown.Photo by Rob Koy

Line choice is always important at Hangtown, even more with the track not dug up deep this year because of the chance of rain Saturday afternoon. Cole scored a 5th place in moto one.Photo by Rob Koy

Cole could not duplicate his first moto start. Here you can see him getting bumped around by his teammate Trey Canard. Once your competitor gets their elbow in front of yours you mostly have to give it to them.Photo by Rob Koy
