I am feeling great going into the French Grand Prix in Saint Jean d'Angely. There is always an awesome crowd and very warm welcome so I can't wait to go there. The goal is always the same, to be at my best and ride my best. When I say ride my best, it means to have perfect timing and technique. I look forward to seeing the fans and hear them cheering from the side of the track. In my opinion, France has the best crowd in the world. I can't wait to be there.

I love the track in Saint Jean, I have some of the best races of my career there. I remember my first race I ever did in the EMX250 class, I finished on the podium. I love that place, I love the track, it is always prepared well and in good shape. It is super cool, good flow and it gets rough in a nice way. There is always good atmosphere there, so I am looking forward to it, and looking forward to redeeming myself after the mistake I made on the last lap on Portugal. I am still angry about that, so I want to bounce back and get the job done.

I am looking forward to racing at Saint Jean d'Angely. The track is a very similar surface to what I grew up on, so I am looking forward to racing the Grand Prix there. All of the people speak French there, which is my first language, so I feel quite at home. I am looking forward to it especially after the result I had in Portugal. I'm feeling great, let's try to keep the ball rolling.

I'm excited to race in France. It's a home GP and that is always something very special, especially with the French fans and crowd. It has been a tough start to the year for me but I am ready now to go again and to get my feeling back during the race. My foot is feeling good, so I am rebuilding my confidence in it, and I really like the track at Saint Jean, it is really fast with a lot of hills and some big jumps. When the dirt is prepared well, it is normally pretty good."
