Motocross World Championship MX1- 2008 Round # 11 Lommel (Belgium) - Time Practice

[Posted 03.08.08]

Pole position!

After the incredible physical recover, that has permitted to Marc De Reuver to be in race just three weeks after the injury to the right foot, the Flying Dutch take the pole position in the Lommel GP. Also really brilliant the performance of Julien Bill who reach the 13th position on a difficult soil for him.

Incredible easy!- those are the first words of marc de Reuver at the end of the time practice that had him as the first- “Everything was perfect and my physical condition has made me able to give my best and realize the best lap of the day. The circuit is really fast and usually also if I like sandy track , and don’t love so much so fast circuit. After last year I trained just two times on this track because is the one that I leave at last for my trainings. I’m really surprised for this performance, I have ridden very quite and relaxed and I have realized the pole position. Then I have waited for better results of other riders but maybe nobody else has been able to do it. Tomorrow it will be an other story, the race will be hard and I just hope to employ in the best way the first position on the starting gate, and then lets stay watching!”

Also Julien Bill is proud of his performance “Not just proud but really proud of my performance, if I think to my way of riding on the sand this time I’m surprised by my self. I’ve ridden very well and I’ve been able to under stand in the right way the circuit. I never find the right feeling with the sand, and this result shows that I had the right training during this winter for this kind of circuit. For the race of Tomorrow I would like to gain many points but I know it will be difficult, I will try to do my best as usual!”

Paolo Martin Team Manager: Better was impossible. What’s more? Marc De Reuver shouldn’t be here and Julien is certainly not a sandy rider. Pole position and 13th position, it is obvious we are really satisfied. A particular clap to Marc against what some people can think about him he has showed to be strong and to have very , very big attributes, he trained for three weeks and he couldn’t run and ride so he has bought a boat to work on his hart frequency, something incredible! When don’t have special expectations for the race Tomorrow, we are sure that our guys will use all in their power and they will give satisfaction to the team with great results. The track is difficult but we are able to make top performances.
