"I just feel so good on the bike right now! Honestly, I’ve felt great all season, but racing at home in France is always something special. I try to win every weekend, but winning here means even more. The fans were incredible and we were lucky with the weather all weekend. Both motos were wild! In the first, I had a bad start but pushed hard to finish second. In the second, I got close to Lucas and tried several lines until a new one opened up coming down the hill—then I made the pass uphill when he slid. I don’t usually feel pressure, but I did today because I didn’t want to disappoint the French fans. They were amazing—I could hear them cheering on the hills! Winning anywhere is great, but winning here in France was unforgettable. Thank you to everyone who came out to support me!"

"I knew it was going to be a tough day after being sick all week—especially the first 15 minutes of each race were hard. I just didn’t feel strong on the bike. But now I have a week to recover and be back to 100% for Teutschenthal."

"I made a good start from the outside in the first moto and found a strong rhythm to finish P5. The second moto was a bit more difficult—I got stuck behind another rider for too long, but once I passed him I found my pace again and had some great battles until the end. I’m building back speed little by little and was pushing hard in both motos. The GPs are much more intense than the European Championship, especially during the opening laps. Now it’s time to keep training and improving—see you in Teutschenthal!"
