Clement Desalle third in the MXGP World Series

Clement Desalle of the Monster Energy #kawasakiracing Team has taken the bronze medal in the #fimworldmxgpmotocrosschampionship and Kawasaki finished second in the Manufacturers Championship.
Twenty-nine year old Desalle clinched third place in the final series rankings with two more solid rides at Imola in northern Italy to secure a safe third on the day; it was his ninth podium finish of the twenty race season, during which he was the only rider to defeat both the defending and newly-crowned world champions. Clement gated well in both GP motos and, with the larger picture in mind, put in two sensible no-risk rides on a slippery surface to take third place in each race, thus cementing his hold on third in the final standings. His forty-point haul also ensured that Kawasaki ended the series as the highest-placed Japanese manufacturer in the series.

Clement Desalle: « It was a good season. I was consistent and avoided any injury, in contrast to other recent seasons which I was unable to finish. One GP win; for sure I would have liked more but that’s not easy with Herlings and Cairoli around, but I won’t give up and will continue to work hard with the team and the new bike to bring Kawasaki even more success. I’m sure the new bike will have great potential, and I’m really happy to work with this team; it’s important for me to be happy doing what I do, and with the KRT boys we’ve a great relationship from the mechanics to the boss and the manager. I’m happy with the season; nine podiums, no injuries and a medal placing in the final standings are a good result and I’m sure we can do even better as we know each other really well. I have a great feeling on the bike and every year e make little adjustments to be even better so I’m confident for the future. This weekend was different than the other races; I wanted the series podium so much that I rode safe and to end the season with a podium is great. »
