In an interview today with Gatedrop, Stefan Everts has said that Liam toughness to to get back on the bike after than big crash in Maggiora impresssed him.
Stefan told us: “That’s Liam. I have seen him do things like that before. He will never give up, he will always ride to the finish line when he can. He had a hard hit, he had no air in his lungs, so it took him a while to get up but he got up, it was lucky he could get up, he could have had some broken bones.
“He finished the moto. I was impresssed. I thought he would pull out, I think everyone would pull out. Your chance for the title has gone, to still continue, he was very brave to do that. It shows his determination and the will he has, I’m proud of that.”
And on the Nations and the bike Liam will ride, nothing is definite yet between 350/450, but the 350 looks to be possible, Stefan said: “Next week they will try out the 350 and see how it will go. I will expect it to be good, it will suit him a lot the way rides, it will be better for his riding style. They have a really strong team, I believe they can be on the podium, there’s really good chance. The Nations is always a funny race, a lot of strange things can happen, but I can see them finishing on the podium.”
