Maggiora up next as Team HRC look to build upon Turkiye success
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
After Tim Gajser’s victory at the #mxgp of Turkiye last time out, #teamhrc head ‘home’ for a GP at the prestigious Maggiora circuit, just a few miles from the team’s workshop facility near Milan, Italy.
The win in Afyon meant that both Gajser and teammate #rubenfernandez have won onboard their Honda CRF450Rs this year, with Fernandez taking the overall at the #mxgp of Patagonia-Argentina at the beginning of the season. And now, with just two rounds remaining, both riders will be looking to try and add to that tally when the gate-drops in Italy this weekend.
Gajser won the GP at this track last year, coming through the field in both motos to go one-one and cap off an impressive seven race win-streak that he was on in the early stages of 2022, which Eventually saw him win the #mxgp championship. This time around though, he wants to finish the season on the top step of the podium, with the Turkiye win raising those expectations at a track that he also won at in the MX2 class in 2015.
Teammate Fernandez is also heading to Italy in a much better frame of mind, after putting in a solid fourth place in moto two in Turkey. It was the Spaniard’s best result for a few rounds and gives him belief that he is getting back to the form that saw him stand on the podium three times in the first half of the championship.
With it being close the #teamhrc headquarters, and also one of the closest rounds for Gajser’s sizeable fanclub, there is expected to be a lot of interest around the circuit for the Honda riders and with both of them up near the sharp end of the field last time out, there could be a lot to celebrate at the end of what is surely going to be another historic weekend at this majestic race-track.

I finally feel like I am getting back to my best, after this period where I’ve struggled to be 100% healthy. With the non-stop races, it hasn’t been easy to recover but in that second moto in Turkey where I finished fourth, and now having a weekend off, I am feeling a lot better about Maggiora and my chances of doing well there. It is an impressive track and should provide some good racing and battles and my aim now is to finish the season strongly.
Tim Gajser 243
Obviously after Turkiye, I am really looking forward to racing at Maggiora. I really like the track there and the fans are always loud and you can hear them around the circuit when you ride. Having now won a GP, that is my goal for all the races and although I know it won’t be easy to replicate, I have done well at this venue before and I am excited to try and do so again this time around.

Tim’s victory in Turkiye was a big boost to everyone in #teamhrc and a nice reward for all the hard work that everyone has put in during this 2023 season. To have both riders with GP wins is a great achievement and something we can be proud of, but for now, we are focusing on Maggiora and Matterley Basin and trying to do even better for these final two rounds. It won’t be easy, but we’ve had a productive week and both riders are coming into the #Event feeling good and aiming to get on that podium.
