Kay de Wolf made a gritty return from a thumb injury to claim seventh overall on his MXGP debut, while Liam Everts battled through injury and brutal conditions to secure 7th in MX2
Kay de Wolf: “Honestly, I’m really happy to be back racing. It’s been a tough few weeks with the injury, so just lining up again and finishing both motos feels good. I’m not at 100% yet, but I could feel it getting better every time I was on the bike. The speed is there, I just need a bit more time and race rhythm. Overall it’s a solid start to my MXGP journey, and we’ll keep building from here.”
#26 – Liam Everts: “It was a tough weekend with the conditions, the track was really demanding physically. I hurt my ankle quite badly in timed practice, so Sunday was about managing that and getting through the races. I think both motos were quite solid – I stayed consistent and didn’t make big mistakes, which was important here. It wasn’t easy, but I’m happy to come away with 29 points – I would have signed for that this morning. Of course I would like a bit more, but we’re close and the base is good, so we keep building.”
