Monster Energy Factory Yamaha Jeremy Seewer shot to a podium victory this weekend at the opening round of the FIM World Motocross Championships in Great Britain.

Grabbing a third overall and the first podium finish of his career, the swiss rider treated the fans to an edge-of-your-seat battle right off the bat, starting inside the top-three and quickly mounted an attack on Jorge Prado to take the lead on lap two.Ā 

After a thrilling display of raw speed and talent, the ā€˜91’ led eleven laps of fourteen in the opening moto but finished second after crashing out of the lead when he lost the front at the bottom of a high-speed descent.Ā

ā€œIt was a really positive day.” said Seewer. “I’ve never started the season this far up front. I’ve never started the season on the podium, so it’s pretty good. It shows I’m ready. I enjoyed the racing.”

“The track was difficult but really nice, and the sun was super low, so it was quite tricky. I’m super happy, except for the first moto when I thought I had the win in the pocket, but I lost the front and then caught some ruts, and my legs weren’t long enough to save me. I am on the podium, I’m fit and I’m happy with everything and the team around me, so it’s all positive. I’m ready for more.ā€
