“I am super happy. I am very thankful for everything. Thankful for my team, for Yamaha, and everyone who has stood behind me. I just want to keep going this way,” says Tonus as quoted from Yamaha Racing.

“It’s been a long road back to the podium. I still don’t feel 100% because I still have some pain in my ankle and have not had a lot of time on the bike. My speed is not so bad, I am quite surprised. But the racing itself is very tough. This is because I was sick all week with a fever and could not train. A holeshot in the second race made the race much easier. So I just tried to enjoy my time on the track because I was missing some fitness, and I put in a good performance to end up on the podium.”

“Another positive weekend. I am feeling better and better on the bike. I had a good first race and finished fourth and then in Race 2, Cairoli hit the gate big time and then when the gate fell it bounced back and I got kicked. Despite that, I still managed to get back to eighth which was good. I was fifth overall which is always my goal, but still a bummer as my speed could have had me placed better this weekend. I will keep working hard and I look forward to Russia.”

“I had a good start in the first race, and I am not sure if I was hit or a rock hit my bike, but I lost the front brake and at a track like Saint Jean d’Angely it is tough to ride without it. It was almost impossible to take the ruts, so I crashed a couple of times while trying to find a way to ride the bike like this. It was hard but I did not want to stop because at this stage the points are really precious, so I salvaged what I could. In the final race I was fifth which is not where I want to be either.
