The first GP of the year for DRT Kawasaki is in the books and both riders, Jack Chambers and Bobby Bruce as well as Steve Dixon offer their thoughts.
Jack Chambers – MX2
“Decent weekend in Argentina, made it really hard on myself coming from behind both motos for 12-11 finishes to start the year. I am happy with my riding and feel with some better starts I will be where I want to be up in the mix. Thankful for all the effort from the team to make it all happen. I’m looking forward to Madrid in 2 weeks!”
Bobby Bruce – MX2
“Not an amazing weekend, but it’s a start. I feel my speed is definitely good enough to be around the top 10 I just need to get some more races under my belt and I feel we will be well in the mix. I’m excited to keep building on this.”
Steve Dixon:
“Well it was great to get back racing again, the weekend went smoothly and it was good to go training on Thursday with some of the locals.
Qualifying and pace were good especially as we did no pre-season races, that was my choice, it’s a long season and the races come thick and fast at the end of the season.
Both races for Jack went well except for no good starts, at this level you need a good start, we will work on that but overall I was really happy with Jack’s fitness and race craft.
Bobby hasn’t raced since he broke his wrist in June last year, I honestly did not know where Bobby’s speed was, but I was pleasantly surprised at the pace he had and I know Bobby has dedicated so much to the off-season to get back to fitness, a couple of fall hampered the overall result but Bobby can be proud, and great to have a British rider in MX2 again and thanks to all the British sponsors who have stepped up to help us achieve this.
Next stop Madrid where Billy Askew will join the team in the EMX and that will give the British fans another rider to cheer.”
