Gajser Wins MXGP Championship #4
Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at 7:49PM Gajser Wins GP - Perfect Day
HRC rider Tim Gajser finished off a great Wednesday when he finished with a 2-1 score and the GP victory, his 28th in his career and the perfect gift for his fourth World title victory earlier in the day. On a day when he became the most successful Honda rider in Grand Prix history the Slovenian looked more than just a good World champ, but a great one.
“I mean I am super satisfied, but it was weird with the break between the second race, and then we continued racing. One more time (championship) and a huge thank you to everyone and all the fans. I am just so happy at the moment and we are going to celebrate today.”
Gajser took the lead of the restart of the second MXGP moto (the first try out was red flagged as Van Horebeek got stuck in Gajsers back wheel) from Van Doninck, Seewer, Febvre, Cairoli, Desalle, Monticelli, Bogers, Tixier, and Walsh 10th. After three laps it was Gajser with a 2.7 second lead, while Seewer was fighting off Febvre, then came Desalle, Cairoli, Bogers, Van Doninck, Paulin, Monticelli, and Walsh 10th.
Febvre moved up on Gajser and after five laps was just 1.4 seconds behind the new World MXGP champion, and old mates Desalle and Cairoli battled for fourth position. The top ten was Gajser, Febvre, Seewer, Desalle, Cairoli, Bogers, Paulin, Van Donick, Monticelli and Walsh.
Not wanting to sound disrespectful, as the riders are clearly legends in this tough sport, but similar to MX2 this second MXGP moto wasn’t introducing much action as the riders seemingly have closed up shop a little for 2020, which is understandable considering the tough year they have had. Gajser wins the race and the GP, picking up the perfect day.
