Briefly...
wasn't a bad weekend, but it wasn't
a great weekend either. I am safe,
I'm healthy and I feel awesome, so
we'll move onto to the (Motocross of)
Nations, and I feel like I'm building
a good base for myself for Super-
cross."
Team HRC Honda-mounted riders
Gautier Paulin and Evgeny Bobry-
shev finished out the MXGP season
second and third in the champion-
ship, respectively. They also went
8-9 at Glen Helen, seemingly strug-
gling with the heat. "It's great to end
the season with second overall and
top Honda," Paulin said. "It's been
a hard season with many up and
downs, with winning in Valkenswaard
and then also having some really bad
moments like with my knee. Towards
the end of the season I was pushing
but trying to control the knee, and
in motocross it's difficult to do that.
Now we concentrate on the Moto-
cross of Nations, and then I have a
full check on my condition to come
back 100 percent next season." Bo-
bryshev added, "I feel great after this
season. I put my goal in front of me
before this season and I followed
this goal and now we have achieved
it. It was really important for me to
stay healthy; this was the main goal.
Now we have third place so it's really
great."
Evgeny Bobryshev talked more
about representing his come coun-
try of Russia in the MXGP Champi-
onship. "If you take Russian legends
like [Vladmir] Kavinov 36 years ago,
he was in third place, so now after
such a long time, I have ended this
gap and done the same. There are
many people in Russia who know
Justin Barcia, James Stewart, Eli
Tomac, Westin Peick and Trey
Canard to name a few—sitting
this one out, Grant came into
the race as America's biggest
hope to win the MXGP of the
USA. It's his home track, he

Gajser was fourth overall and
Anstie fifth.
