Davide Mastrodonato – TM Moto Leeds owner and team manager…
“Chris Hodgson Racing and TM Moto TSV racing wrote their names in the brirish Supermoto history, bringing for the first time on the top step a TM motorcycle in the current era. A great season for Chris and whole team who have dominated the championship this year taking race victories, fastest laps and superpoles with the precious support from TSV Factory TM Corse who have been taking care of the technical side.
The race weekend started with a reverse schedule, Saturday ACU British / Sunday National. Saturday:-
anD heavy rain , Chris still not at 100% with his knee was riding to saving some energy and avoid accident, for the next SM of Nations next weekend ,played their role.
Still injured from a spill in MX practice a week ago – that made him cancel his presence last minute at the last round of the Italian championship – Chris scored a 3rd place in the Superpole, followed by 8th-4th-6th in the races.
Therefore mathematically he has won the championship with one round in advance.
Sunday:- The sun was up and dry race tyres were on. Chris, with a bit more of a light heart won the whole 3 races and won the National championship.”
Davide Mastro…
“Hard work, consistency and passion, this is what led us across the entire season, realised and finalised by our rider Chris Hodgson, who always believed since day one in this project and showed his attachment to the brand.
We cannot be any happier and grateful for his hard work and loyalty. I want personally thank Vladimiro leone from TSV TM Corse Who gave us this chance. Also to TM Moto factory and TM Moto UK for the help in the darkest hours and the trust put in our potential. To Ennio Torre for helping, teaching and making those engines that fly. To Steven (SM Project) for all the help and friendship. And finally to all our sponsors and the TM Moto fans.”
Vladimiro Leone (TSV factory team manager):-
”This is a unique satisfaction, in a year and half collaborating with TM Moto Leeds – the official dealer of TM Moto UK – and the TM Supermoto project in the UK, we achieved an incredible goal. We brought our competence and the hard work of Davide Mastrodonato and whole TM Moto Leeds team, to deliver to Chris Hodgson the best package to win. Chris didn’t disappoint our expectations.
