Cairoli: Sometimes the speed is scary

Cairoli: Sometimes the speed is scary

On his weekend and the championship…

I feel good. It’s a long season and a lot of things happen. At the start of the season I was good and very prepared. During the last part of the season I made mistakes and also mentally I was going up and down and making crashes.

But there’s nothing to complain about, Jeffrey won 16 races out of 19 so you can’t complain. He was the fastest and the strongest all the time. We have to work to keep with him, I know it’s very difficult. The ten years difference is not easy to keep training for such a long time. I’ve done this for many years and I will try to do it for another couple of years but pushing during the laps, it’s hard to keep with him.

For me it’s an honour to finish on the back of him because he’s definitely the fastest rider in the world at the moment. I’m not finished second to some slow guy. I know I need to work and to be more strong all the race but it’s a nice challenge and thanks to RedBull KTM for stepping up. We have two more races, for sure Italy will be very busy for me next weekend and the Motocross Des Nations is really important.

On his physical condition after his recent injury….

Yeah, you know when you get an injury at 24 or 25 the recovery goes a bit better. Now when I wake up in the morning I need to go in the shower before I can start moving everything (laughs). It’s quite tough but I still enjoy a lot and I am happy about my riding. Especially today I had a good speed but then I had a problem with the backmarker and a mistake. Jeffrey went inside and then he pulled away. It was difficult to catch him back but it was a fun race. It was such an incredible crowd and it’s good for the sport.

On how his riding this year compared to the past when he won the title…

I think this is one of my best years just except for the last part when I was struggling with some injuries. I mean I felt good and for sure, the speed is unbelievable when we are close. We push each other and we always make a good gap to the rest so it means we are riding very fast.

I’m really happy about my speed but not so happy about my condition because it’s been up and down which meant I couldn’t stay all the moto with Jeffrey as I wanted. This is where I need to work on a little bit.

With the age it’s difficult to compare but Jeffrey has definitely pushed the level higher. At this age it’s difficult to make the clicks all the time and try to keep up with the new guy. I try to stay close and most of the times it works, the speed when we are close we are matching so I’m happy about that. I need to work harder if I want to stay with him otherwise he’s gone.

On trying to find a new level in 2019…

If someone is faster than you then you always watch there but the speed, it’s fast! I can tell you that it’s scary sometimes but I still enjoy it. For sure I don’t go over the limit because I know the risks involved in this sport.

If I can improve some stuff I will try to keep up and go for another title, that’s my goal for sure. Until 2020 I am with KTM riding so pumped with that. The speed is so high, you always need to be focused and not risk by going over the limit. You can see by my riding I don’t go over the limit because I don’t like this feeling, I like to be in control.
