Gercar: »I am ready for a journey towards 1st place overall«
Klemen Gercar, 21 years old Slovenian National motocross team rider, has been just few small steps away, where he would be able to start a season in Valkenswaard with victory. In second part of the race, when he was in the lead, he made few mistakes which cost him podium.
Final 4th place just confirmed Klemen’s form for a next season, and tells to fellow motocross riders, that he will put up hard fight to achieve what he mostly desires.
»I have to be satisfies with my performance and final result in Netherlands Given the fact that I am most used to the sandy track like it is in Valkenswaard, I have to look on 4th place overall as a great achievement. The experiences on sand were well used by home riders, where those type of advantage gave them opportunity to position themselves on podium. Again, I am satisfied to see, that I am one of the favorites who will be battling fort the crown throughout the season« – says Klemen.
Klemen continues…
»There are few riders who will not attend all the races in the season , so chances for top result overall are even bigger. Clearly everything will still depend on me and my performances. Since next race in Bulgaria on 5th of May, I have time to improve my overall conditioning and competitive form. Serious illness which caught me just a week before the race, has left few consequences, so in short period of time I was not able to prepare myself up to that point, as I was before.«
So we can therefore see the real Klemen in Troyan Bulgaria?
»Definitely I will be readier in all aspects, beside I have also had a great feeling on a track in Troyan. 2nd place last year, was a really good result, and confidence level is therefore raised. Now we are going on a harder surface, which is similar to the one I have been practicing throughout the winter. It will be interesting to see, what other riders who are used to sandy surface will show. With little help of sports luck, and if everything comes under same roof, I do not see a problem why I would not be able to raise up the ladder«– finishes Klemen Gercar.
