“I’m really happy, this has been a very important race for me. Also, a really important first part of the season because I’m adjusting to competing on the GasGas.

To get my first podium in the world championship is a dream come true,” says Casales per GasGas Factory Racing.

“I’m really happy with it and I’ll continue working hard to continue with this level of performances. Let’s see what happens in Bilbao as every race is quite different. I’m really starting to get a good feeling with the bike now. We are still working on things to make it even better. I’m really proud because I always trusted GasGas. We will continue working to make things happen. I’m really motivated for what’s to come.”
