“I had an OK GP and felt good on my bike. In the opening moto my pace was good so I managed to secure a top-10 result,” said Beaton. “Then in the second moto, I pushed a bit more than I needed to early on and ended up getting a little fatigued. The injury I picked up during the pre-season hasn’t allowed me to spend as much time as I would have liked on a bike. Around a tough track like Valkenswaard it is always important to be on top of your game. At the moment I’m taking one step at a time and I’m trying to get better every time I race.”

The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team will return to action at the fourth round of the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship in Italy on April 6/7.
