HRC Honda’s Tim Gajser grabbed a mixed bag of results at Loket this weekend at round five of the MXGP World Championship.
Gajser managed to maintain his championship lead despite a big crash in the second moto and bent bike saw him dip into the pits before re-joining for 15th.
“Iām okay. The first race was good, I was quite happy with it. The second race, I had a good start and made some quick passes in the beginning and then the third or fourth lap I just landed, and the bike went sideways so I had a big one,” said the reigning champion.
“Obviously, some bad luck because my clutch lever went into the hand guard so I couldnāt really use the clutch and had to go to pitlane.
“In the end I re-joined the race but managed to save some points as I came back to fifteenth. Obviously, Iām disappointed but thatās how it is, and it happens so we move forward.
“Last year changed a lot. Obviously before when we went to Lommel I wasnāt so great there but in the last two years we put in a lot of work in the sand to improve myself a little bit and Iām looking forward to going there. Of course, I donāt train there at all but I like the track and I will do my best.”
