Toni Bou (1st): “Although I had already won the title in advance, this victory was special because I won all the rounds of the race that had a really high level of demand. This is definitely the best way to close the season in the World Championship.”

Jaime Busto (2nd): “I’m happy with how things went today because I felt very good from the beginning. I had a mistake in the final but I’m super happy to have finished the season like this and the world runner-up I got.”

Gabriel Marcelli (3rd): “The truth is that I haven’t started very well anymore. In Q1 I didn’t feel totally comfortable with the bike anymore. I started the final with a mistake in the first zone and from there, I focused and I think I rode quite well although today’s balance is not satisfactory. I expected something more from the season but the third place finish is satisfying.”
