Todd Waters scores first MXGP podium

For IceOne Red Bull Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Todd Waters, the GP of Italy will long be remembered as the race at which the Australian claimed a career-first podium result.

Scoring third Overall following fourth place results in each of the two MXGP motos, Todd showed exactly the type of form he’s been working so hard to regain following the broken leg that sidelined him during 2014.

“This is a huge result for me and the team,” said Waters. “We worked really hard during the two weeks prior to this race, and I guess it paid off. I love racing in the mud, the conditions certainly didn’t faze me. To finish third Overall is an amazing feeling.”

“I felt good all the way through the first moto,” Waters continued. “I moved up from seventh or eighth to fourth, which was good. But I felt like I should have done better with the way I was racing. I wanted more from the second moto, and was third when I dropped it. The team told me a podium result was on about three quarters of the way though the race, so I went for it. I gave it everything and to get third is amazing. I have to say thanks to the team and my mechanics, it’s awesome.”

The 2015 MXGP series continues on June 21 with the GP of Germany, at Teutschenthal.
