Jake Dixon: Winning “feels great, but it doesn’t end here”

The Inde GASGAS Aspar admits it was “frustrating to always finish P3” but having finally broken throu👍gh to the top step, Dixon insists it’s𒅌 “just the beginning.”
“It was frustrating to🃏 constantly finish in P3 when I was on the podium, nine times! But it wasn’t for lack of trying. Every podium was great, but winning was even better,” Dixon said.
“It feels great, but it doesn’t end here,♏ I want to be multiꦗple time winner,” he added.
“My aim n﷽ow is to be back stronger and come and fight for the front at Silverstone.”

The Englishman will start the second half of the Moto2 campaign - in front of his home fans at Silverstone in early August - holding thir𒁏d in the world championship, 44 points behind Tony Arbolino and 36 f✅rom Pedro Acosta.
But he’s not ruling out a title upset.
“The goal is the same as it wa🔥s at the beginning of the year, it was not just to win a race, but to be Worꦿld Champion,” Dixon said.
“I am worꦕking everyday towards that goal; I bel🧸ieve more and more everyday that I can do it.
“I’m going to give my 110% as always. The 🦂outcome is going to be what is going to be. All I can do is do my best and hopefully we can be having some good things to cheer about at t𝓰he end of the year.”

Dixon: “Age is only a number, the sky is the limit”
While Acosta (19) is destined to join MotoGP with KTM next season and Arbolino (22) is also in contention for a premier-class seat, 27-year-old Dixon insists his late start in racing and unಞique career path means he still has plenty of potential.
“I started my career when I was 14 years old, it is what it is. Lack of money meant I had to take a different path than anybody else [in Moto2],” said Dixon, who joined the intermediate grand prix class after being BSB title runner🤪-up in 2018.
“Honestly,💫 my dream was always to be in MotoGP, but dreaming is one thing, doing it is another. The Spanish championship wasn’t feasible, we couldn’t afford it. I just had to d꧒o the best I could in BSB and then in the World Championship.
“This is my fifth year in Moto2, yes, but there are people that have ꦚbeen doing more years in Moto3, for example.”
“Age is only a number, I am one of the older ones but, in terms of experience, I am probably one of the least experienced,” he added. “The sky is the limit for me, I think this is just the start of how good I ☂can be.
“The tri🎀ckiest thing to unlock my full potential is confidence, but now I have more and more confidence, I have just won my first GP.
“[Looking back] the 14-year-old me would be over the moon [with winning a GP] but would also be saying, ‘I want to wi꧑n the championship’ So… it’s not finished yet.”
