RIDER'S COMMENTS:

VALENTIN TEILLET: »I was riding on this race track for the first time. It was very hard and it was full of stones. I enjoyed to compete infront of great spectators, who did a perfect atmosphere. It is easier riding with support of the public and of the team. We were talking a lot with Jacky Martens about settings of my bike and I think we did the right decision.«

ARNAUD TONUS: »This weekend was difficult for me. I did two good starts, specially in the first race. But I did some mistakes. In the second race I was continuing better and I am happy for the result. I still did not decide if I will participate the complete Championship because it depence also of KTM Switzerland.«

JOSE ANTONIO BUTRON OLIVA: »I got second podium this season and what is really good. I had two good starts and I finished third. I am very satisfied with the result. The race track was hard and usually I do not like very hard tracks. Next two events will be in Portugal and Spain, where I also expect two good results.«
