Febvre and Desalle about the Spanish MXGP
Romain Febvre was back on the podium this weekend! The Frenchman finished third behind Jorge Prado and Tim Gajser at the Spanish Grand Prix. His Kawasaki colleague Clement Desalle also performed well. De Waal finished fifth, both tell their story about the first GP on the Arroyomolinos circuit.
Romain Febvre: “It was a good GP for me with two top-three motos and a podium place. That is important for both the team and myself. I was very happy with my starts today. We worked hard with the team to find the solution and when you start in second place twice, life becomes so much easier! In the first moto I felt good. I wasn't far from Prado and I thought it would be possible to go for the win in the second moto when I got another good start. But in the first few corners Gajser passed me and after ten minutes I saw that he and Prado were a lot faster than me. I tried new lines, but that didn't change anything. I had a very good feeling, but they were just faster than me, so I had to be satisfied with third place. “
Clement Desalle: “It was another good day for me, starting with a fifth in the timed training. My first start wasn't good at all, but I made a lot of passes in the first few corners to get up to eighth place and I was sixth at the end of the first lap. I passed two more riders over the next three laps to finish fourth, which was positive. My second start was better, but I made a mistake in the third corner and that dropped me to eighth place. I quickly became seventh and came close to Cairoli, but it was very difficult to make a difference as there was mainly one line on this track. I get better results every weekend; that's encouraging.”
