The Yamaha Factory Racing team have secured stellar results in the recent Czech Grand Prix as the riders made it into top five. Riding for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory and Monster Energy Wilvo Yamaha MXGP, the lads vow to continue their momentum in the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix in Lommel this weekend. This would be the fourteenth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship. Romain Febvre, Jeremy Seewer, Gautier Paulin and Arnaud Tonus have expressed their excitement for this weekend’s race.
“Lommel feels like my second home. I spend quite some time in Belgium training and stuff. Lommel is a classic race. There is always a really nice atmosphere with all of the French Fries stands and all of Belgian’s eating ‘pommes’. I’m looking forward to it. I hope the weather will be OK. I will try and get a good feeling out on the track and try to fight for the podium again,” says Seewer as quoted from Yamaha Racing.
“I look forward to racing in the sand. It will be a completely different race to the hard pack of last weekend, and most riders aren’t the same on both surfaces, but I like the sand and I look forward to going there. I will try to ride like last weekend. It’s important to get comfortable on the bike and to make good starts. These are the main points for this weekend.”
“Lommel is a sand GP, so it will be a really tough one. We have to train for it and I am training really hard. It’s one of the hardest GP’s and I really love it when the track is tough like this. We don’t have so many races with conditions like it, so it be nice to race there. They usually change the track in Lommel, so I am looking forward to seeing the track and I can’t wait to ride it.”
“It was good to have a few days of recovery this week. I feel better and hopefully, I can ride at least once before the GP to be ready. I am looking forward to it as I have put a lot of hours in the sand during the winter. Lommel is always tough, so I will need to muster some strength, and go out there with my heart on my sleeve to give my all and see where I end up.”
