TDuring the twelfth Grand Prix Calvin Vlaanderen was on the podium again. The Yamaha rider finished third and thus consolidated his fourth place in the standings.

#10 CALVIN FLANDERS
“Last week I finally took another podium place after two years of waiting. And now I'll add one right away. Very beautiful of course. It was a very solid weekend. In the first series I felt really strong. I was able to follow Prado well and passed him in the final phase. That gave my confidence an extra boost. In the second series I rode a strong first lap. Then I tried to catch up at the front, but those two guys were a little too fast. Fortunately, I also had a nice gap and was able to secure third place. A great weekend again!”

#132 ANDREA BONACORSI
“Man, this was a tough weekend. However, I had two good starts in the heats. Always in the top ten, even close to the top five. But I always had a relapse. I suffered greatly from the heat and high humidity. I felt the energy and strength ebbing away. It was really a battle with my body. Regrettably. Now back home, catch my breath and keep working hard because I want to fly back into the Czech Republic at full speed.”
