There is nothing like a victory to improve team moral, so after Jeremy Seewer’s success in the mud of Indonesia at the last round of the 2017 Motocross World Championships, the whole Suzuki World MXGP team now heads on the plane to Argentina this weekend excited to build upon those efforts at what is one of the most stunningly beautiful tracks on the calendar.

“Let’s hope we can get back to a normal MXGP” said general manager Stefan Everts. “Qatar has always been a bit of a strange GP and Indonesia has been ‘different’ with all the mud and everything.

“But I’m looking forward to going to Argentina, it’s a long trip but it’s a very nice track and location and I’m hopeful the guys can up their level and show everyone how they can really ride. Jeremy’s win is a nice early boost for everyone and we want to keep that feeling.”

Understandably, Seewer is also buoyed after his first MX2 win and overall, and he can’t wait to get down to South America.

“I’m always happy to go to Argentina, the last two years I’ve had good memories there and I really love the country, it’s so calm and relaxed, a stunning location, good hotel, good food. The last two years it has felt like a holiday, but with a GP where I get a chance to ride my dirt bike. It’s just awesome. I really love it, it’s definitely one of my favourite GPs.”

The two Suzuki World MX2 youngsters Hunter Lawrence and Bas Vaessen haven’t ever been to Argentina, but they are excited to see what all the fuss is about.

“It looks good, I’m excited to get there,” said Lawrence.

“I’m not so excited for the long flight but it should be cool and they say it’s worth it when you get down there. I’m going to put Indonesia behind me and go out, brand new race, and treat it like a great day of riding at a great location.”
