MXGP of Finland Qualifying Race
Top ten for Jeremy Seewer in the the Grand Prix of Finland qualifying race
The thirteenth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship, the MXGP Grand Prix of Finland, takes place this weekend at the Iitti-Kymi-Ring. Located 140 kilometers northeast of the capital Helsinki, it is the northernmost round of the season.
The track, hosting a Motocross Grand Prix for the first time, is part of the speed circuit built in 2019. It features a sandy surface, typical of Finnish tracks, making it technical and treacherous. Furthermore, a large amount of rocks and stones mix with light-coloured sand to create a quite fast surface.
After finishing sixth and seventeenth respectively in the morning’s free practice session, Jeremy Seewer and Mattia Guadagnini finished 11th and 17th in the following timed session. Mattia was returning after one race stop due to a training injury.
At the start of the afternoon qualifying race, Jeremy got off to a good start on his Desmo450 MX. He was 9th at the first turn, while Mattia was 16th. The Swiss rider fought in the top ten, losing two positions, but recovered in the finale. He took 10th at the chequered flag, while the Italian rider crossed the finish line in 13th after passing three riders during the moto.
