I was not expecting these results on my first year but I am doing pretty good. Now we will try to push back and be ready for the next race. So, he passed me, then I just settled for third place. I tried to stay close to maybe try to pass him but then Jago also came from the back, and he was a bit stronger. I took the holeshot then 10 minutes in, he passed me. But he was also doing good, so I took the second place. First race, I led a little bit more, then I was trying to close the gap in the last two laps. A strong two races with two holeshots, then the two races were pretty similar, Maxime passed me. It could be a little bit better, but it is still better than last week. So yeah, keep the focus and keep on going.” I think I am in a good place and don’t want to let anything come in the way. Then back to work and try to continue to build for the second half of the season. Even though it’s not really going to be off for me. The plan now is for sure to take some rest. I am really happy about it and so happy with how the day turned out. First time for me to have both race wins. I just found my pace and found some spaces to pass him in both races and make a really good gap to be not under pressure, then just cruise to the finish line. Didn’t have the best start in both races but then I could turn really good, try to make my passes as quick as possible and come back. I really wanted to get some good points in championship before the break. “Yeah, actually I got some special motivation for this race. Jed Beaton sits sixth in the standings, with Wilson Todd 14th. Now we have a break we are in a good position in the points and we will work on the details that we need to win this championship!“ The track was really strange this year and with the rain it was even more complicated I was lucky that Jeffrey crashed on the last lap and handed me the third position. The second moto start was perfect with another holeshot, I had a good feeling but once more I slid out in a corner and crashed! I came back to fourth in the race and couldn’t do more. “I would say it was a decent GP! The first race was not easy my start was not very good and I could come back to fifth, close to the other riders in front of me, but I wasn’t able to attack them. There’s 43 points in it now but there’s still 11 rounds to go.” Jeffrey Herlings Time to re-group and get healthy and I know exactly what I need to do as these guys are fast. 1-4 for third overall and on the other side I should be happy to even race here but now I will re-group, get healthy, train hard and be ready for the second half. I was really happy but then I jumped into the turn, and I tipped over, got up to go, my bike wouldn’t start which is normal when the bikes get hot and that was the overall gone. I was looking to make a pass but with two laps to go I was just thinking to take home the overall and I didn’t want to take any risk. He was riding perfectly he was riding defence lines which were good, and he didn’t make any mistakes. Then Romain crashed so it was me and Jorge and it was raining, I didn’t want to get roosted, so I gave Jorge like a three or four second gap. In the first race I really controlled in and took the win, but the second race I started third behind Jorge who had a good pace.
Still a long championship and things are getting better and better, and we’ve got tracks coming up in the rest of the season that I really like so I’m really looking forward to it.” I’ve never been so close to the championship. I knew Jeffrey was behind me and I knew he would push in the last laps, I was waiting for him on my back wheel and those laps were so long in the end but I got the race win and I am happy. I got behind Romain and tried to attack but I made a small mistake, then a couple of laps later on, he crashed. In the second race, I knew start would be important with the weather.
In the first race, I struggled a lot with the rhythm, these guys were pushing really hard and I just couldn’t find the good lines and made it hard for myself. Since Loket I have been improving a lot and now I have some weeks to get even better physically which has been my weakest point so far this season. I’m definitely feeling stronger and stronger which is very positive. “Today was a great day especially that last race win of the day, it’s a good feeling.
