"It's great to finish this season
with a victory," said Gajser. "It is a
massive confidence boost head-
ing into the off-season and also
for 2024, so I'm very happy to win
and to go one-one and just have
fun riding out there. The track was
difficult in that second moto, but I
enjoyed it once I got out front, got
a good gap and could see where
the riders were behind me."
MX2
With the MX2 title already
wrapped up, the battle for second
and third in the championship
waged on between Simon Laeng
-
felder and Geerts. Laengfelder
made it happen in race one with
a big holeshot before leading the
entire moto ahead of his competi
-
tors. Geerts and Yamaha team-
mate Thibault Benistant duked
it out until the final turn of the
final lap, with Benistant ultimately
holding the advantage.
Race two saw Liam Everts and
Kay De Wolf trade the lead spot
in the opening laps, with De Wolf
coming out ahead. He led nearly
all of the race before finishing
second. But Geerts was on a
charge in what's set to be his final
MX2 race. The Belgian caught
fire mid-moto and made his way
into the lead with just two laps re
-
maining. After overtaking the top
spot, he claimed the win and the
grand prix overall with 3-1 scores.
He also secured second in the
championship standings.
De Wolf and newly crowned
MX2 World Champion Andrea
Adamo rounded out the moto
podium, with Laengfelder and
Adamo taking second and third
on the day behind Geerts.
"I'm proud of what I did today,
and I am proud of my whole
season," said Geerts. "I came
back from two injuries, and it
was still a good season for me.
This weekend was not easy,
but in the end, especially in the
second race, I felt good on the
bike and on the track and won
the second race. It's nice to end
my MX2 career with a win. Now,
I'm looking forward to moving to
the 450cc, which I will race at the
Motocross of Nations."
