happy to finish the race here in Morocco safely and on the podium, but I’ m a little disappointed not to have taken the win. After wrapping the championship up in Portugal, I really wanted to focus on this race and do my best. I’ m riding good, I know that, and when I’ m riding good, I’ m fast – I just need to clean up my mistakes. It’ s good to get a bit of a wake-up call, and now ahead of Dakar, I know there are things I need to work on with myself. We’ ve got a couple of months to get motivated now and I know what I need to do to improve. It’ s not just the physical side for me; it’ s the mental side as well, and I want to be ready for Dakar. The season has been incredible and I can’ t thank the team enough for everything they have done to get me here. The goal now is to reward them with another win in Saudi next January.” We can’ t wait to see if he can repeat his Dakar success this coming January.
