Suzuki heads to France for MXGP finale

Team Suzuki Press Office – September 14.

The final round of the 2017 Motocross World Championships takes place this weekend at the Villars-sous-Ecot track in the Pays de Montbéliard region of south-western #france. Previously seen in the 2015 season, this is a typically old-school hilly track and provides a completely different challenge from Assen last weekend.

#kevinstrijbos and Hunter Lawrence both head down there looking to finish on a high note with two good motos, while Jeremy Seewer also has the slight possibility of championship glory. Joining Seewer and Lawrence in the MX2 class is Frenchman Zach Pichon, who will be once again moving up from the EMX250 Championship for the weekend as he did in Switzerland. Unfortunately, Arminas Jasikonis and Bas Vaessen will continue to sit-out with their respective hip and collarbone injuries.

After his season-best performances in the Netherlands Strijbos is hoping for more of the same at a track he’s ridden quite a lot in the past: “I used to ride there for testing many years ago and the track was really old-school, which I really liked. Two years ago I saw the race on TV and it looked like they completely changed the track and I heard many #people don’t like it now. It’s a really hard track but we will see now, it’s the first time I go there since they changed it so maybe I will like it, maybe not. I just hope I can end the season strongly and go out and put in a good last round of #racing.”
