Tim Gasjer has objectives to increase his winning steak to eight overalls in a row. Honda CRF450RW rider Brian Bogers has high hopes of reaching the top 10 in the MXGP class. As for the MX2 class, all eyes will be on Calvin Vlaanderen after his triumphant run in Semarang with his podium win.

“The travel back from Indonesia was okay. I had a little bit of jet lag for the first couple of days but everything went back to normal pretty quickly and I went right back to training. It was definitely nice to have a weekend off from the races though. I spent it at home just relaxing a bit, but at the same time, I am very much looking forward to race in Loket. It is a nice track and it always has a good atmosphere with a lot of fans coming from Slovenia. I’m really excited for it and hopefully, I can have some good races,” says Gasjer as quoted from Honda Racing.

“It has been nice to be able to train at home this past couple of weeks and even race a Dutch championship round. The overall experience of Indonesia was good, but I wasn’t happy with my results in Semarang so it was a good chance to try and work on somethings and just get comfortable racing again without so much pressure. Now though, it is Loket and it is a hilly hard-pack track which isn’t something we have so much of in Holland but I do enjoy the layout and I am looking forward to racing there because it is a very old school track and it has a really good crowd there.”

“I took a few days rest after Indonesia, just to get used to the time zone change and because it was a tough trip for me after coming back from injury. This weekend I chose to race the Dutch championship though because I believe racing is the best way for me to get back up to speed. It ended up going quite well. I came second overall which was nice, kept it smooth and steady and had a decent pace. Then this week I’ve had a few days testing with the team which has been productive. It’s helped me get ready for Loket. I really enjoy racing there and it’s one of my favourite venues on the calendar. So, it should be a good event and I want to make sure to have two strong motos.”
