"This is it. This is my last season in MXGP and hopefully my last MXGP I can race in Latvia next year. When this last MXGP rounds are done here in Italy I make a longer story."
"Olen jõudnud lõpusirgele ja 2020 jääb minu viimaseks MMi hooajaks. Loodan, et oma viimase MMi saan sõita järgmine aasta Lätis. Kui viimased 2 etappi siin Itaalias läbi, siis võtan pikemalt asja kokku."

i think back to the 2001 Vagani KTM 125 team, Leok, Rattray and Townley, hell of a eye for talent,
I believe he won the World 85cc Championship over James Stewart & Kevin Strijbos.

There must be something in that country that leads them to have a higher number of riders per capita or just a savage culture of rippers that dgaf and ride all the time.

Obviously there were/are a lot larger issues with 2020, but one of the things I was bummed about is that he wasn't able to go for his 20th MXoN in a row for ESTONIA! I wonder if he will try to make it out for that next year...
I posted this after last year's MXoN, but for those who haven't followed what he has been a large part of for the last 19yrs, here are the finishing position stats for MXoN for the last 15yrs: For those that don't want to go thru it, only the US, France, Belgium, Great Britain and Italy have a better average finish than Estonia in the last 15 yrs! If you go by last 5 yrs, Great Britain and Italy come off that list and Netherlands gets added.
I managed to get over to Maggiora for the MXoN in 2016 and one of the things I really wanted to check out was the Team Estonia pits. I searched all day Sat in the packed main paddock, but didn't realize there was a 2nd paddock area until Sunday morning. Of course, tucked out of the way in a corner - Team Estonia!
