“Everyone has to work so hard to get to this spot and to get to this moment, and we put in countless hours this season to make it happen,” Mastin shared.
“My dad has been behind me 110% this year through the good and the bad. At one stage we didn’t know if we were going to have a ride this year but KTM stepped up and I can’t thank those guys enough for giving me the opportunity.
“The 250 two-stroke it’s an awesome bike and it’s the first time KTM has won a championship in this class, so it’s awesome to have done it today.”
