Team HRC aiming for top ten finish in Turkey MXGP

Team HRC aiming for top ten finish in Turkey MXGP

Team HRC are all geared up to tackle to penultimate MXGP race in Turkey this weekend.

After a stellar run in Uddevalla, Sweden, Team HRC is set to take on the penultimate round of the FIM Motocross Championship in Turkey this weekend. Team HRC riders Tim Gajser and Brian Bogers will be tackling the Turkish MXGP at Afyon Circuit. The duo has set sights on a top ten finish this time. MX2 rider Calvin Vlaanderen is also aiming for a sterling finish in order to show that he is one of the greatest 250cc riders in the world.

“Since Sweden we’ve had quite a busy couple of weeks because of all the Slovenian media who want to speak to me after winning the MXGP world championship. We had a cool parade too in Maribor with a lot of fans which was nice. A lot of fans have spoken to me and reached out to me. It is just amazing to be champion again, and I think it is finally sinking in that I have achieved the title. It’s all been crazy with Sweden the week after winning in Imola. So now that I had a little bit of time to think. It has become real,” says Gajser as quoted from Honda Racing Corporation.

“However I was also able to train quite hard though so I’m feeling ready and I can’t wait to go to Turkey. I really liked the track last year as it was quite technical with some nice jumps, especially after a weekend off from racing. There are two races to go in the MXGPs and then the Motocross of Nations and then I’ll do Monster Cup. So in total there are four races. I’m feeling really motivated to do well in each of them. A big thanks to my fans. Now I hope to go out and have fun in these last four events.

“The crash in Imola wasn’t my fault. Which made it even harder when I realised I wouldn’t be able to line up at Sweden. I hit my shoulder pretty hard and even though I gave it as much rest as possible. When I tried to ride just before Sweden, I still didn’t have any power in my arm. So I knew that racing wasn’t possible. After Sweden, I tried to ride again and although everything was a bit stiff to begin with. Now it is feeling a lot better and now I will give Turkey my best effort. I’ve had some good training sessions and I’m ready to go racing.”

“Right after Sweden I got straight back into training, both on bike and off-bike stuff. It was nice to have this last weekend off though. So I had a couple of nice relaxing days before these last two rounds of the series. I then rode Monday and Tuesday this week and I’ll leave for Turkey on Thursday. I do feel good on the bike, especially after winning moto two in Sweden so I’m looking forward to racing again. The Afyon track was quite fun I thought last year, I liked the layout and it had a special surface because it was different than all the other tracks so it should be a good weekend”
