da and Team HRC," Gajser said. "I've been here for
the past seven years and to me this team feels like a
family so I'm really happy to stay."
Honda also re-signed Gajser's MXGP teammate
Mitch Evans who is currently 11th in the championship.
"I'm very happy to have the deal done and in
place," Evans said. "It now allows me to focus on
the rest of the season and putting in the best results
possible. It also gives me a platform to build upon
for the future, and I feel like we've built a good
relationship already and I'm excited for that to con-
tinue." CN
