MXMag Quoter: October 2010
There were also some great statements in the off-road world in October! An anthology…
“We each have our own side in our bedroom. On his side all his clothes are scattered on the floor and if I don't pick them up they will stay there. I have to keep reminding him that there is a basket in the bathroom for dirty laundry, but nope… they never end up in there without my physical intervention.”
Matilde Charrault, Marvin Musquin's girlfriend airs her dirty laundry... From Motorwereld, November 2010.
“It has been a long time since anyone had such a good idea as creating the 125cc European Championship”
Yannig Kervella about the success of the European Championship MX 125cc. From Moto Crampons, October 2010
“If everyone had been 100% we would have won.”
Jeremy Van Horebeek about the level of form of the Belgian MX of Nations team. From Moto80, November 2010
“For example, we know from a Belgian GP rider from a satellite team that in 2009 he had a monthly salary of 7.000 euros. In addition, there were bonuses from sponsors, points money from sponsors and bonuses from the team and the motorcycle brand. As icing on the cake, there was also starting and prize money in the Belgian Championship. All in all, the driver in question earned around 125.000 euros.”
Passage from “Moto Money”. From Motorwereld, November 2010
“I am negotiating with RIS to work with transponders in the BK Enduro next year. Not only for the chronos on the specials but also for the time controls. I also do not understand the reluctance of some members of the Enduro working group. They are fighting a rearguard action.”
Thierry Klutz about his first year as a BK Enduro promoter. From Moto 80, November 2010
“In at least one amateur federation, top players also receive starting money under the table.”
Excerpt from the article Moto Money. From Motorwereld, November 2010.
“I can understand Davide (Guarneri) that in the end he no longer wants to go. The Italian federation has also not been respectful towards him.”
LS Motors Honda team manager Steven Lettani. From Motorwereld, November 2010
“Among the Beloften, it is Flemish Bob Van Looveren who wins the competition and admits that he likes sand. It's a shame he couldn't participate in the whole season because he is gradually starting to understand how Enduro functions and he is becoming a competitor to be reckoned with.”
Frédéric Sente about Bob Van Looveren. Match report of the Belgian Championship Final in Hautrage on MXMag.be (FR) of October 25, 2010.
“Off-road is an environment of passionate people. Despite the crisis, this market remains relatively stable.”
Sherco boss Marc Teissier. From Moto Verte, November 2010.
“In the summer of 1989 I was still in school and racing 125s and 250s. Then Alec Wright said, “I don't think you'd do too bad on a 500.”
TV commentator Paul Malin about the impetus for his debut in the 500cc GPs. From Moto Magazine, October 2010.
“Mr. Viroux does not know what to answer, he is completely overwhelmed by the events… He told Jean-François Goblet that he can go change clothes, that there will be no cross. Something that is not experienced as disturbing because a cross in the sand is not exactly Jean-François' favorite exercise.”
MXMag.be employee Frédéric Sente about the chaotic final of the BK Enduro in Hautrage. Report on Motocrossmag.be (FR) of October 24, 2010.
