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 ā91ā 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
āIt was a really positive day.” said Seewer. “Iāve never started the season this far up front. Iāve never started the season on the podium, so itās pretty good. It shows Iām ready. I enjoyed the racing.”
“The track was difficult but really nice, and the sun was super low, so it was quite tricky. Iām 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 werenāt long enough to save me. I am on the podium, Iām fit and Iām happy with everything and the team around me, so itās all positive. Iām ready for more.ā
