Townley to race at Qatar MXGP opener


Team Suzuki Press Office – February 19.

Team Suzuki World #mxgp rider #bentownley is confirmed to race at the opening round of the 2016 #mxgp World Championship at #qatar at the end of the month, after sustaining a knee injury in the international race of Valance last weekend.

“I twisted my knee in the Super Final and it didn’t feel good so I decided to retire from the race,” said Townley. After a small check up, he was advised to give his body time to rest and not ride for a couple of days. “I’m going to ride Monday and Tuesday again to prepare for the #mxgp of #qatar,” Townely added.

The Kiwi is looking forward to #qatar. “ I’ve been preparing myself for over nine months now. I started at that time to be ready, if I had the opportunity to race again that I got. I’m very much looking forward to lining-up at the start and just race,” Townley said. “I don’t have any expectations, Stefan and I have discussed this a lot and my personal goal is to get the best possible starts I can, and that I can ride within myself so I can build up from there on.”

General Manager Stefan Everts is also pleased with Townley being given the go-ahead to race. “I’m happy that it was only a minor injury. Now we can have the whole #mxgp team in #qatar. We have a great new race set-up and I’m excited to start the season,” said Everts.
