Beautiful Argentina hosts important round three of the MXGP championship

It’s been good to have a couple of days off to relax before this third MXGP of the season. The first two rounds went really well, but I’ve learnt from last year not to train too much, and not overwork myself, especially at this early stage of the season. I’m in a good place mentally and physically, and with the Honda CRF450R, so I’m just hoping to continue that momentum into Argentina, which is a track I really like. It is a fun circuit and it is important to go to an overseas race again as we have been missing them these past couple of years.

Mantova was a big step in the right direction for me, to be battling and racing at a good level with the guys again. My wrist felt a lot better than in England and now I’m hoping that it’ll be a similar story in Argentina this week. I really like the track, and it holds good memories for me as I got my first MX2 podium there in my first world championship race in 2019. Obviously, I’m still a bit away from that happening in MXGP this year, but the motos in Italy really gave me confidence that I can get back up there and the next task is to continue that improvement on Sunday.

It is great to be travelling back to Argentina, and making this a true world championship once again. They do a really good job at the venue and the fans always are very enthusiastic about the racing and the riders, so Team HRC really enjoy travelling there. Both riders are feeling good, after the weekend away from racing, but now it’s time to focus again and prepare themselves for what should be another tough test.
