Simon Längenfelder “It’s been another good GP for me and I’m happy with my weekend and to be back inside the top 10 overall is where I should always be. I had a strange start in the first race, my jump from the gate was bad but I was able to get the power down and I came out of the first turn around fifth or sixth. I was a little surprised, but I’ll take it! I didn’t quite get the same start in race two and ended up 11th which was ok but overall, but it’s nice to put two motos together and go into the triple header in Arco with this positive result.”
Bouncing back from a challenging GP just one week ago, DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Racing’s MX2 racer Simon Längenfelder put together two consistent races to secure 10th overall. The strong result now moves the German up one spot in the championship to 10th with five rounds remaining.
Isak Gifting made a promising start at the MXGP of Spain with an eighth-place finish in moto one. Frustratingly, a hefty crash in race two resulted in a badly damaged motorcycle and a disappointing DNF.
Isak Gifting: “It was an up and down day today. I felt great in qualifying, my speed was good and I was excited for the races. I had a great start, running up front in fourth for half of the race but then I made a few small mistakes which added up and I ended up eighth which was ok, but it should have been better after such a good start. Unfortunately, in race two I had a small crash early on and was last. But I quickly made my way up into the points before a big crash bent up my bike too badly to continue. It was a disappointing end to the day, and I really hope this doesn’t happen again.”
DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Racing will next be in FIM Motocross World Championship action at the MXGP of Trentino, round 14 of the series, on October 24.
