Tim Gajser wins back-to-back FIM Motocross World Championships

Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) contract rider Tim Gajser (“Team HRC” factory team) has won the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship in the premier MXGP (450cc) class, his third title (second consecutive) in the class.

On November 4, Gajser took his Honda CRF450RW factory bike to second in Race One of Round 17 in Pietramurata, Italy, giving him a sufficient points lead to secure his championship victory. In Race Two after taking the holeshot, his consistently fast pace gave him the race win and combined with Race One results, the overall round win.

This season’s Motocross World Championship begun in March, but due to the COVID-1 pandemic, was interrupted until August. With 16 of the 18 rounds remaining, races have been held on an extremely tight schedule. Despite the demanding schedule, Tim Gajser not only won 14 races out of the 34 races (17 rounds) to date, but has finished consistently within the points to secure the championship.

The Slovenian rider became world champion in the MX2 (250cc) class in 2015, and the following year won the premier MXGP class in his rookie year. For Tim Gajser, 2020 marks his third (second consecutive) MXGP title.

Tim Gajser | Team HRC

“It feels unbelievable to be world champion for a fourth time. Winning one time is amazing, but four times, I’m just speechless. It was a weird season with the COVID-19 and then the break between the rounds two and three, but in the end, everything came together and we won another title! Racing today was very nice, in the first race, I didn’t have the best start but I was still able to come through the field and finish second and that meant that if I could win race two, I would take the overall. In the second moto I grabbed the hole shot and then had a really good battle with Romain all the way to the chequered flag. We were pushing the whole time so I’m super happy to win this title and the overall on the same day. A big thanks to the whole of Team HRC, there are a lot of people who are involved who couldn’t be here today so a big thank you to all of them and to everyone who has supported me all year long. It is a privilege to ride for this team and I appreciate every single person who has helped me. Thank you!”

Yoshishige Nomura | Honda Racing Corporation President

“I am extremely pleased that Tim [Gajser] won his second consecutive championship. This season’s schedule has been demanding due to COVID-19, and I imagine it would have been hard for him to even keep himself in top form. Despite that, his uniquely well-balanced speed and stability have improved, and he now truly shows the heart, body and skills of a true champion. I thank the team, and all of our sponsors and motocross fans who support our racing activities.”

Cute laptop bags that don’t break the bank

11/07/2023

When it comes to tech or laptop bags, we’re most often given a structured piece: clean lines, minimalist execution, and often colored black or blue. And often, they’re quite expensive.

But if you’re anything like me, you’ll want the things you own — bags, phones, etc — to represent you in one way or another. And if you can get it at a great price, even better, right?

While you still can’t go wrong with the classic tech bag, a fun, more out-there design always adds a touch of personality and maybe a boost to your daily ‘fits. I’m personally aware of how hard it can be to scour websites for a tech bag that’s both cute and functional so let me help you out with this list.

1. Parfois Printed Briefcase

Fit for a 13-inch laptop, the Parfois printed briefcase isn’t just cute but also durable. Made of water-resistant nylon, the bag comes with double handles, a removable strap, and two outer pockets to store your accessories.

2. Lovevook laptop bag

Available in a wide variety of colors and designs, the Lovevook laptop bag looks just like your daily purse and nothing at all like a tech bag. Bags are also available in a variety of sizes that can accommodate up to 17-inch laptops. There are also multiple pockets, a built-in charging cable, and an external USB port, too.

3. Island Elephant laptop backpack

If a spacious back is what you’re after, this may pique your interest. This large-capacity bag is made of water-resistant nylon and has padded straps to keep you comfortable. It offers convenient and easily accessible storage pockets for devices and can fit 15-inch laptops.

4. Akap Mesita

A homegrown product! The Akap Mesita bag isn’t just a laptop bag, it’s a portable workspace. Apart from carrying around your laptop, it unfolds to create a personal workspace perfect for today’s digital nomads. It comes in a variety of colors, too, and is made of vegan leather.

5. MaH laptop backpack

Another backpack option but this time slimmer and sleeker. Fitting up to a 15-inch laptop, this tech bag doesn’t have a lot of pockets but will fit your tech essentials. Best for light travelers or those who stick to bringing the essentials when leaving the house.

6. MaH tote bag

If you’re more into tote bags, MaH also has these cute options. The tote is large enough to fit 14-inch laptop and come with side pockets for accessories. It’s made of waterproof PU leather and comes in 6 colors.

7. Kinmac laptop briefcase

Classy, and professional, but still stylish, this laptop briefcase keeps a classic silhouette with a fun touch of color on its sides. It’s on the smaller side holding only up to 13-inch laptops but does offer multiple compartments inside for keeping things neat and tidy.

Final thoughts

The internet is vast and these are but a few options I’ve found that fit the bill of being affordable, stylish, and functional. Expand your budget a bit more and you’ll find more options, I’m sure, but you shouldn’t have to shell out too much to find something that fits your personality. So whether you’re a pastel prince/princess or a classic king/queen, there’s something out there for you and hopefully this list will help you find it.
