- STEFAN
EVERTS: "... This is an incredible day and it has been an amazing
year ..
To win the Motocross des Nations, in Belgium and in front of the
king is a dream come true. I didn’t have any problems with
my riding in the final. I made the holeshot and rode at my own pace.
I’m so happy, but maybe a little bit of me is disappointed
that I didn’t win the race. It has been great to have the
Americans here today. They bring prestige to the event and that
is important for European motocross. Ricky (Carmichael) was faster
than me today – hopefully he will return for a rematch next
year”
