“The start was missing in the first race; I could stay with them all race after I passed Gajser but I didn't get the jump and that cost me. We found something again for the second start and I could nearly holeshot; that always makes life easier. I only had a small gap to Jeffrey but I felt that was enough. I was focused on winning the GP as that is the best way to gain points but then some lines changed a bit during the moto. I tried to figure out where he was going but that's never easy when you are the guy in front. I could stay with Jeffrey after he passed me but he was better than me today. I knew Lucas would push in the last laps so I concentrated on him at the end. Now we have two tracks which are new for everyone to end the season.”

“I had a good flow this morning but I went with a scoop tyre for the start in the first moto and didn't have the best feeling for the rest of the track as it was really hard and slick. I took a normal hardpack tire for the second moto, which didn't help the start but I did find the flow and I enjoyed the second part of the moto after I stopped riding too aggressively. It was a consistent day but I need to do better in the last two GPs.”
Mathis Valin
"I had a really good jump in the first moto, but my outside gate position cost me some spots in the first turn. I found my rhythm and got faster as the race went on, even making a last-lap pass for fourth. In moto two, my start was even better and I had good pace again. I ran out of a little energy near the end and finished sixth, but I learned a lot battling with the front guys. This is the best way to gain experience in my rookie year."
