Renaux and Fernandez have made a competitive return at the MXGP of Switzerland, Round 17 of the MXGP World Championship.
Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP’s Maxime Renaux has made a very welcome and positive return to action by placing sixth overall. Team HRC Ruben Fernandez also showed some great fighting spirit on his return to GP racing, going 17-9 for 11th overall,
Maxime Renaux 6th | 5-7
“I’d say my return to racing was ok. I had two good starts which is something positive to build from and my sprint speed for the first four or five laps was also really good. With so much time off the bike I’m really sore, but I just need more time on it to get back into race shape. Overall, it’s been a decent first race back and we’ll only get stronger from here.”
Ruben Fernandez 11th | 17-9
“I’m pretty happy with how today, considering it was my first race back after a long time. My speed was good, and if it wasn’t for a coming-together in the first moto, I’m sure I could have been fighting for a top 10 in both races. I was able to lead some laps yesterday and that was great and this gives me a great platform to build upon in the last three rounds of the season, on tracks which hopefully I like a bit more than this one.”
