Confidence building for Team HRC with Germany up next

I like the circuit at Teutschenthal and I have a good record there too. It seems to suit my style well and obviously after winning in France, I am excited to try and do it again this weekend. It felt good to have a weekend off after those last three events, but knowing that we have another three in a row coming up means we can’t afford to relax too much. Once again it seems like the weather might cause some issues but we can only control what we can control, so we’ll just prepare for everything and see what happens.

I’ve really enjoyed my return to the championship after the injury, and I’m happy to have scored good points in all the six races. I feel like I’m getting to grips with the pace of the MX2 class a bit more now and am just feeling more confident that I belong against these guys. I won a moto in Teutschenthal last year in the EMX250 class so it is a track I know I can perform well on, and my goal is to just keep this momentum going and keep working my way closer and closer to the front of the field.

It was great for Tim to win the MXGP of France, even in such difficult circumstances. He’s ridden really well all year and I think he deserves a lot of credit for putting in strong rides, whatever the conditions and the victory, combined with getting the red-plate back is something he can be very happy with. Germany is also a good track for him and there is another chance for him to put in three good motos and hopefully cement his lead at the top.
We also very happy with the progress that Ferruccio is making. Sometimes we forget that he’s only 17 years old, and only ridden four GPs as a full-time MX2 rider, so to see him battling against guys with four or more years in the class is very impressive. We are trying not to push him too much, but we are very excited for the future.
