"This one feels good. I'm lost for words to finally do it; awesome! And it's Lily's (Team Manager) birthday today; that makes it even sweeter for the team. I left everything I had out there on the track and I'm so proud of my efforts. I didn't get the best start, but I always push to the end of every race and it paid off today; if I hadn't pushed to the very end, I wouldn't be here on the top step of the podium. It's not easy to come over here from the other side of the world to race, and I miss my family, but I'm adjusting to the environment; all the hard work is paying off. I have more confidence in myself and have made a big step this year. My mom had planned to be here this weekend, but she couldn't get over at the moment. That's a pity; she would have enjoyed this win."
Francisco Garcia
EMX250
"It was a really crazy race after the engine stalled at the gate, but it was a good experience to see what I am capable of, making so many passes to come from last to take another podium. I was still fresh at the end and could have taken even more if the moto had been five minutes longer. I'm happy for my teammate; he deserved to win today."
Mathis Valin
MX2
"We have been getting closer step-by-step, and it was good to have my first podium of the season before the break. I found a good flow in the first moto to finish second, but [Liam] Everts crashed right in front of me on the first lap of the second race. I knew I had to push hard to get on the box after that, but I managed it."

"We had an issue yesterday, which cost me everything today. I had some luck in the first moto that I could find a gate on the inside so I could make the holeshot and lead for most of the race, but I made a mistake with five laps to go, and that cost me the win. There was no gate free in the second moto, so I was completely outside at the gate. I took another good start, but I was too far outside to make it across before the first turn. I tried to push too hard on the first lap and made a mistake, and then it was too far to catch the leaders."

"My speed was good in both practices, but I'm just lacking a bit of confidence in the longer motos. I don't get physically tired, but you need to be on your top game to battle up front at this level; sometimes you just need to pin and not be scared in sketchy moments. The second moto was a step in the right direction, and now we have one month to regroup and come back swinging for the rest of the season."
