"I didn't make it easier on myself,"
said Herlings. "I got a good start but
then crashed, and in the second, I
didn't have a good start. But I kept
fighting for the Dutch country. So, we
did our best. I'm proud of the team
that we could [be] on the podium. It
was a difficult one, but I hope we get
two steps higher again next year."
The defending champions
struggled to fifth place. In the
MXGP/Open, Febvre was uncer
-
tain if he would ride in the second
MXGP moto
after being pelted with
dirt in the first moto and injuring his
eyes. He opted to ride; however, he
suffered more vision problems late
in the final moto that caused him to
nearly crash and take the handle
-
bars to the chest. He was forced
to
stop momentarily to catch his
breath, which most likely prevented
the French team from getting on the
podium.
