Gajser's team-mate Evgeny Bobryshev meanwhile didn‰Ûªt end his season or his final race with the HRC team the way he had hoped for.
After making a comeback in the first race from a second corner fall, his second race ended with a DNF when he crashed out of fourth place and injured his thumb.
"I had a frustrating weekend here," Bobryshev lamented. "Both races I had a good start but in the first race I fell in the second corner, ended up dead last but managed to come to eleventh.
"The conditions out there were so tough, it was really difficult and to avoid making mistakes. The second moto started off really good, I was running fourth for most of the race and I was feeling confident. I was really pumped as I knew I was running upfront. Then, I banged bars with Tonus and I went down pretty hard and damaged my thumb. I pulled off as the pain was too much. I DNF‰Ûªd the second race as a result.
"The season is finished now and I really want to say a big thanks to all of the team, Honda and the sponsors for seven years together and it is a shame to leave the group and I am a bit sad but I wish everyone and my team mate Tim good luck for the future."
