HRC Honda’s Tim Gasjer is looking to continue his winning streak heading into this weekends round five of the FIM World MXGP Series, alongside team mate Mitch Evans.

The #243 then took last weekend off, in order to keep himself fresh for this sixth round of a championship where he has already won four overalls. However, Evans is looking to continue racing himself into shape so decided to compete in the French Championship at Castelnau-de-Levis, which he then won both motos convincingly, to give himself a nice confidence boost heading into this world championship event.

Known as being sandy on top, with a hard base, the Kegums track always provides a difficult test for riders as they try to get to grips with the terrain, but having raced here multiple times in the last couple of years, combined with the two-day format, the Honda CRF450R pair should be comfortable by the gate drops for the two moto’s on Sunday 24thĀ April.

“Since Trentino, I kept up my training both on and off the bike. Having learnt from last year, I donā€™t want to over-do things, especially at this early stage of the season.” said Gajser. “Obviously, the previous MXGP went really well, getting my first one-one of the season and just having a great time riding my Honda CRF450R in front of so many of my fans. It is always good to see and hear them, and I canā€™t thank them enough for cheering me on. Latvia has some good and bad memories for me, but Iā€™m focusing on the positives, including winning last year, and Iā€™m looking to just continue how Iā€™ve been riding so far this year and go out there and enjoy myself.”
