Get the rider’s thoughts following the MXGP of Great Britain at Matterley Basin below.
Jorge Prado: “It was a great season, a pity about that last round as I thought I had a good speed. I was just expecting to do a bit better but hey, it was great year. I cannot ask for anything better. This was the main goal and we got it done. I’m super happy and I want to say a big thanks to Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing Team and everyone behind me because this Gold Plate looks great!”
Romain Febvre: “It was a pretty good season, It was the year I won the most GPs in a season so it means something and I also had the speed. The first quarter of the season was not great but the rest really good and im up here on the podium today again. Another second place in the Championship so I’m very happy and let’s keep working for next year”
Jeremy Seewer: “I feel good and bad about this season. Obviously I had a crash in Switzerland ad hit my head and I struggled to come back and it took a while to come back where I wanted to be but I turned it around which is the most difficult and I come back to fiinsh third I the Championship with few GP wins which is incredible. Of course I will be entirely satisfy when this medal will be a gold one but anyway I think I can be proud of what I achieved.”
Tim Gajser: “I couldn’t wish for a better end of the season, you know. Achieving 1-1 in Matterley Basin that I always enjoy. I was really enjoying it today. The track was quite tough but I managed to take two solid starts so I think it was really good to lead some laps too so I’m really happy. I want to say thank you to all my team who worked so hard especially when I came back from injury and I’m so happy that we could finish the season strongly and I am super motivated for next year”.
Andrea Adamo: “I still need to have a bit more time to realise that I am World Champion as we didn’t have a lot of time between the races. It was a long season and the whole year was challenging as all races are tough. I always have been the consistent rider and I will bring that with me for next year. I am also very excited to go to the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations as we have a good team although my teammates didn’t have the best weekend here I hope we can have a strong one”
Jago Geerts: “I’m happy that I finished the season and my MX2 career on a GP victory here and overall I’m proud of all my season as I came back twice to finish in the end at the second place. It was good that I came out on top today and I am looking forward to ride in 450cc already at the Nations and then next season”
Simon Laengenfelder: “I felt very good this weekend and I felt fast, unfortunately Jago was the fastest in race two but I really can be proud of myself to come back after getting injured and miss three Grand Prix. It’s never easy to come back but I did well and I’m happy to be third again like last year”
Andrea Bonacorsi: “It’s a season that we’ve worked for as we struggled last season a lot but we came back this season and we made it. It’s really good, I’m really happy and I want to thank all the team because without them I couln’t have achieve what I did this year. I’m very proud to be part of the Yamaha family and I want to thank everybody”
Marc-Antoine Rossi: “It’s a perfect weekend for me! Coming back like that after my injury is so great! Thanks to my all team for this great year, and especially this end of season, it has been really good!”
Janis Reisulis: “What an absolute banger of a weekend it was! I also had the perfect race in the second race. I would call this season where I learned the most, some up and downs but I learned from them. This is the perfect way to the season especially with this round. I really want to thank everyone around me, the team, the whole Yamaha squad and my family as the put so much worked into it.”
