At the end of the first lap, William asks if he should give it another go at modulating the throttle. He's getting better at it, but he's still not sure how to do it properly. He asks if it's okay if he doesn't come over every time he drops. William says he'll take it from him, and that he'd be fine if he didn't have to come over at all. Then he shows William how to use the throttle properly, and says that he thinks William is getting better all the time. He also says that William's holding the bike better, which makes it easier to twist the bike when it hits the ground. He says that's a good sign, and he hopes they'll be good rivals for the next race, which is coming up next week. William is worried about his injury, but says that it won't get any worse until next week, when the next round of races will be held. He tells William that he can't race today because he thinks he can catch up to Topp, but if he were to race today, he wouldn't be able to catch him because he already has a better riding suit.
