“It’s been a bit of a rough day for me. In the first moto I had a bad start and I was around 30th, and I pulled through to 16th. Race two started better but then I had a big crash. So, overall, it’s been a challenging day for Team Spain and myself. On the positive side, I’m healthy, and now the focus is on next year.”
“Not the way I hoped to end the season, riding off the track early, but I’m hoping it isn’t anything too serious. I was feeling good on the track and had a great first moto with a sixth and I was fighting in hard in race three, and then I made a small mistake which turned into quite a big crash. I was able to walk to my bike and then ride off the circuit, but I’m a bit sore. Thankfully this is the last race of the season, and I can focus on getting fit and healthy before preparing for the 2026 campaign.”
“So happy for Tim and Slovenia, who keep getting better and better results. He rode really well in a very tough field, going three-four for third in his class and showing his abilities in front of the world. It was a shame for Ruben to not finish his second race because he was also looking good and had a strong first race, but overall it was a good day for Honda HRC. And congratulations to Jett and Hunter Lawrence and Kyle Webster who were riding Hondas for Australia and won the Motocross of Nations, and to Jo Shimoda for his 450 debut and he looked really good.”
“It was an interesting weekend, starting with different things on the bike and very positive in some ways. And then I also had to get used to different people setting up the bike. But, yeah, it ended positively in moto two, especially the last 15 minutes, which I think was some of the best riding I showed all year, so that was a little bit of a relief. Besides that, starts were not on point, especially in moto two, because I let my teammate go inside. We are working still, but I was pretty consistent, and Team Switzerland finished eighth, which is not too bad with the team we have. We know what we need to work on, and it seems we are surrounded by the right people to go in a good direction.”
“Not bad overall but we didn’t quite get the bike like we wanted for this fast track. I didn’t want to change too much from our base setting because we didn’t have too many sessions but it was probably a bit too soft and I felt a bit limited. I didn’t find the flow but the speed was still there and I was battling with the guys. I learned a lot from riders that we usually don’t race in GPs. It was a bummer what happened in the second moto but it happens and I’m happy. It’s been a good rookie year: 2nd in MXGP and I won all I could. A lot of positive things and I improved. I will work even harder to be on top.”
“A bit disappointed because we could have won with Team Belgium. We had a strong team and strong riders but the races did not go as we expected. I was 4th for a long time in the first moto but then had an issue with the rear brake. I slid out and Justin Cooper jumped into me and onto the bike. I tried to ride the second moto with a painful wrist. It was difficult and I did my best for 20th. It was not the two races we hoped for. A bummer that we did not make it to the top. 2025 has been, let’s say, up and down. I’m happy and not happy. It started well, then I had some difficult moments but from the halfway point of the season I was the most consistent rider out there and made a lot of podiums as well as winning three of the last six motos. Winning the qualification moto here yesterday as well was really nice.”
“I felt comfortable on the 450 all weekend. Race two was really strong – I found a good rhythm, made clean passes, and we were right there in the fight for the podium. Seventh in race three kept the points coming and helped Belgium secure fourth overall. Big thanks to the team for an amazing bike and all their hard work.”
“Winning the MX2 class at the Nations for the second year in a row means a lot. The track was pretty technical, so it was about patience and precision. In both races I focused on being the first MX2 home – that was the mission. Huge thanks to the team; the bike was faultless and we finished the season exactly how we wanted.”
“Overall, it’s been a solid day. My team was 14th overall and I finished sixth in MX2. I had a little tip over in the second moto while I was third, so that was a little frustrating. But anyway, there are a lot of positives to take away from here and overall, it’s been a strong season with the team.”
