After two great years racing for the SR Motoblouz Honda team, it has been confirmed that Guillod will be going a different direction for the 2025 season.
It remains to be seen what the future will hold for Guillod but hopefully he can secure a ride within the MXGP paddock.
We recently asked the Swiss rider about the decision to leave the team…
On the reason for leaving SR Motoblouz Honda after two great years with the team…
We did two great years, 2023 and 2024, we did two times, we finished two times 9th overall, so we did some top 5 overall, 4th the best moto, some holeshots, I think the result we did was great. It was a nice story with them, unfortunately it had to come to an end, we are scared to do a third year, and that is season too much, you know. So we prefer to finish on a good terms, I don’t know how to say, still friends with manager Josse and the trainer Yves, and yeah, it’s a bit sad.
On his future…
You know, to finish 9th overall, and to have no contract for next year, now okay, this week after Spain I got one proposal, and now I wish I will have some more contact, and yeah, so that’s a bit sad, but okay, let’s say maybe I should work a bit this, a bit earlier… I really don’t like, I mean, if people want to work with me, they contact me and they work with me, yeah, my job is to race, to ride a bike, and not to do that stuff, but yeah, let’s say it was two great seasons, nice results, great atmosphere with team manager, with the mechanic, with the trainer, with my teammate, and every good things have to have an end.
On being motivated on remaining in the MXGP paddock…
You know, when you do two times ninth overall, and some top five overall, or top six in Spain, it showed that I still have the potential to do some stuff, and to be honest, I’m still believing in myself to do some better results than that. It’s why, you know, this season, I’m a bit sad, because if I compare to last year, it’s exactly the same season, with the same result, I didn’t really improve, so I still have a lot of things that I can improve, so I’m sure I can do better by the end of the season.
