TONI BOU
“It was a tough race, we had a lot of pressure. It was difficult to feel comfortable because we fought hard and did our best with the set-up we had. It was an altitude race, so it was extra difficult, but thanks to living and training in Andorra, we manage it better and better. This is a very important victory for the championship”.
TAKAHISA FUJINAMI
“The first lap went quite well and until the last zones of the second lap I had chances to get on the podium. I’m very happy with my riding; these last few weeks we worked very hard with the whole Repsol Montesa Honda Team. Now I’m more comfortable and more confident. I’m very happy to be competitive again”.
