David Luongo, Infront Moto Racing CEO:
«Honestly, it is a fantastic pleasure for us to be back in Australia after 24 years of waiting. The fans have been incredible all weekend, coming from all across the country and even from Europe to support their riders. To arrive at the final round with three titles still on the line is something truly special, and we already crowned Lotte Van Drunen earlier today in WMX. What can I say about Darwin? This is one of the most beautiful locations we have ever seen, and one of the best organizations we have worked with in years. From the very first meeting, we knew the motivation here was high, and the result is a world-class event with a unique facility, combining a professional paddock and a fantastic track. We felt truly welcome, and Australia remains one of the biggest off-road markets in the world with passionate fans and great riders. That is why I am proud to confirm we will be back in Darwin again next year on the 18th–20th of September for the season finale. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.»
