By Jason Bellinger on 1st Oct 17
Team HRCs Tim Gajser took an outstanding win on his CRF450RW in the qualifying race at Matterley Basin, for the Motocross of Nations.
The Team Slovenia rider who is a big fan of the British track, had a good start, took an early lead and led the race from there. He pulled a comfortable gap between himself and Gautier in second place, extending this as the race went on. For the first time in five years Slovenia have made it through to the A final.
For Team Russia, Bobryshev got the Nations off to a good start by qualifying sixth in the MXGP race. The strong performance by the Russian was vital in helping his team to automatically qualify for tomorrows races.
The first of the three races for the coveted Motocross of Nations title starts tomorrow at 13:10 local time.
Tim Gajser: The track is really good here, I am really enjoying it. I was second off the start and I made a pass early on to take the lead. I controlled the race from there and I am really happy that Slovenia made it through to the final.
It is tough for Slovenia, this is the first time in five years we have made it through to the final so it is great to be in tomorrows races and ready to put on a big show. We will all give our best and will hope for a good result tomorrow.
