![]() Of course, I know it won’t be easy as the class is getting more competitive every year and I believe a lot of riders will keep improving, so I need to keep improving as well but I am confident that I can come out on top, especially with the support of everyone at Team HRC and Motul who continues to work extremely hard making sure everything possible is done to get me to perform at my best. ![]() It is what every rider wishes and especially for me, having won some in the past and having come so close this year, it is what I will be focusing on for every gate drop. The aim every year is to become world champion. However, starting in late February doesn’t give us a lot of time off this winter, so I have to make sure I do what I need to do in order to be ready for that. The last two years have taught us to prepare for changes so I won’t really get ready for any specific rounds. I haven’t focused too much on the calendar for next year. What do you think of the calendar for 2022? Nothing really too big but when the championship comes down to a small number of points, it is those little things that add up. The crash in Loket, when the lever got stuck in the handguard, was unlucky and that cost me a lot of points and just a few other things that didn’t go to plan. Of course, I wish I hadn’t been hurt after Turkey as I was around 30 points clear in the championship and riding really well and controlling the series when it happened. It was just a lot of really small things really. The races in France, Spain and then the last ones in Italy really showed how awesome a motocross race atmosphere can be so I hope that even more fans can come and support the riders next year.Īnd what about things you wish you could change? It was also good to have fans back at the races as we can see how much they add to the events. It was also great to share these moments with Team HRC as they have always believed in me, even when I was struggling. ![]() Probably the most important was in Germany when I was able to come back after my injury and win the second race and the overall and just show everyone that I was ready to really fight for the championship. Winning on the last lap in Matterley Basin with a great battle and then there were some excellent races in Turkey. Obviously, it started really well in Russia, going one-one and then I had some really good motos after that. What were your best memories of the year? It was difficult to come so close and not make it happen but I will use that as motivation for next year and try to keep improving on those small details. Of course, I wasn’t able to become world champion, so I wasn’t able to achieve my goal, but there were a lot of good moments. All the riders went through a lot and we were all pushing until the very end. ![]() The 2021 season was definitely a tough one, both mentally and physically. Tim, how would you sum up your 2021 season? Now that the dust has settled on this season, the Slovenian rider reflects on this year and his expectations for 2022. After eight races in six weeks and one of the most intense battles in motocross history, Motul-supported Team HRC’s Tim Gajser finished third in the MXGP Championship. ![]()
