Ken Roczen: "The 450 certainly suits me really well. I had fun! In the first race I was not entirely happy with the start, in the second it went much better. Overall I am very pleased with the weekend. The track was great and there is absolutely nothing wrong. "

Xavier Boog: "So I'm really happy with my performance does not. I'm not in the first race went well and had trouble finding an optimal track. Only at the end I found my line and then it was ok. In the second run I had a better start and it was much better. The track was exactly to my liking, even though I am still worried by the heavy rains. I am looking forward to two more runs in the ADAC MX Masters Emmen and Holzgerlingen. I still have a chance in the championship standings to a top 5 ranking. "

Max Nagl: "My second run was great! I had made a good start and only a small error. That's why I was not up front. The race was great, I was behind Kenny and was able to maintain second place. In the final round, five were lapped at one time and I'm not coming over. I almost fell then even then I was overtaken at Xavier last jump before the finish. That's not annoying. For me this was a good preparation for the World Cup and that was a great race. Ken was a tad faster, but I've only been practicing a couple of weeks and I have so much to catch up. Therefore I see no problem. I'm still at 80% and the other guys already on their top level. I think I can catch up to the next race. "

Jeremy Seewer: "What a great one day. Finally I have won both races and not just one. The second run was extremely exciting, but it was a very fair and almost friendly duel with Sulivan Jaulin. For me, this day could have gone any better. The track was great, but it's always good to Gaildorf and I like it like to race here. Despite the rain in the morning it was perfect, exactly the way I like it. Now I will train hard in the sand - in Lierop at the European Championships - to be prepared for Emmen well. "Brian Hsu, "It was a very demanding route, because it rained a lot. But at the end of the day I see a good training and good preparation for my next race. I wanted to be among the top 3 and above all a safe race. Now I'm first. I am very pleased. The other pilots were all very good and it was certainly not easy. In the last round came Ivanov and I just had to do my best. "
