Liam Everts: “I’m absolutely speechless. Just six months ago, I was sitting on the couch, not knowing if I would ever race again. But I worked hard for this moment—I didn’t do it alone, and I’m grateful for the people who supported me along the way. It’s incredible to achieve this with my new team, and having our boss, here to see us go one-two makes it even more special. (About riding in the mud) I just focused on letting it flow, and I’m thankful for the techniques my dad taught me. This one means a lot.”
Kay de Wolf: “It was a solid day. Yesterday, I lost the red plate and was tied on points with Sasha, so Ben Townley came up to me and said, ‘Kai, what’s going on? No red plate anymore?’ and I just told him, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll take it home tomorrow night.’ And that’s exactly what we did. I couldn’t have done it without the whole team—Kai Haneke and everyone working so hard for us. I’m really happy to still be leading the championship, and I just want to thank my team, my family, my girlfriend, and everyone who supports me.”
Ferruccio Zanchi: “This weekend was really special—my first MX2 race win and my first overall podium. After Argentina, I struggled a lot, but we made a big step here. The second race was tough—I didn’t get a great start, had issues with vision, and tangled with another rider. When they told me I finished third overall, I honestly couldn’t believe it! I’m so happy, and I have to thank my team for their amazing work, my sponsor, my family. Looking forward to next weekend!”

Tim Gajser: “It was a great weekend—three out of three wins and two strong motos in really tough conditions. Yesterday’s qualifying race win was important for securing a good gate pick today. In the first race, I got a solid start, while in the second, I had to fight through the pack, but I was able to control the pace and get the job done. I’m really happy with how everything went. A huge thank you to my team and everyone around me; I know how hard they are working. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to go again in two weeks!”
Glenn Coldenhoff: “It’s been a while since my last podium, so this feels really good. My starts were on point this weekend, which made everything much easier. Unfortunately, I made a small mistake in the second moto, bent my shift lever, and ended up in neutral, which is so easy to do in these tough conditions., but I have to thank the whole team and all the mechanics—they have such a tough job in conditions like these. Fantic did an amazing job with the bike, and having two Fantic riders on the podium is incredible. We’re building momentum, and I’m excited for what’s ahead!”
Andrea Bonacorsi “ It’s amazing to be on the podium. I felt super well in the team from the first moment so we say that it was going to be good this year and that we will be on the podium and we made it now in the second race so we have to be proud of it of what we are making and a big thanks to everybody today because it was really survival mode today for everybody, riders and mechanics but we made it 2-3. Also, congrats to Glenn (Coldenhoff), because we did a really amazing job. But thanks to everybody at home, and see you soon. But thanks to everybody at home, and see you soon.”
