My team gave me a bike that felt perfect, and I just needed to do my job and compete hard. Reaching P7 felt great, but I want more, and I know I can continue to improve.”The weekend marked another important step forward in Mervis’ rookie Twins Cup development, as he continues adapting quickly to the demands of the class while proving capable of running inside the top group.Mervis also extended his appreciation to the sponsors, teams, and family supporting his racing journey:“I want to thank everyone who has made this progress possible—Ice Barn, Smash My Trash, Iconic Motorbikes, Legendary Sportbikes, Putnam Park Road Course, and Club, Dainese for keeping me safe, my family, and my teams: Ice Barn Racing, REVO Racing Project, and Karns Performance.
