A difficult Swedish Grand Prix for Standing Construct Husqvarna

Pauls Jonass leapt back into action at the Grand Prix of Sweden, after missing the previous fixture to let the cut in his arm heal. Showing an abundance of speed and intensity aboard his FC 450, he stormed to seventh in the first moto and entered the second one with his sights set on a top-five ranking. Unfortunately, he crashed on the first lap and was left facing a mountainous task. ’41’ did well to recover to sixteenth at the finish line for twelfth overall, just one spot behind his teammate.

Riding a wave of momentum after his victory at the previous event, Brian Bogers was charging towards the top ten in the opening moto before an untimely error caused him to fall down the order. Not to be deterred, he went into damage-limitation mode and salvaged a fifteenth at the chequered flag. The second stint was a better for showing for Bogers, who claimed eighth. That was a spot that he occupied from lap three on. 15-8 scores left him in eleventh overall and helped him move closer to sixth in the standings.
Next up on the Grand Prix schedule is the sixteenth race, the Grand Prix of Finland, which is going to be run at the sandy Hyvinkää circuit. Hyvinkää has not appeared on the calendar since 2014.

Pauls Jonass: “I always like this track and I enjoy racing here! I am quite good in these conditions, but I just did not feel like myself this weekend. I am happy with how I rode at points, but I also know that I can be so much better. It is frustrating at the moment, sure, but I am just going to keep working hard with my team.”

Brian Bogers: “I struggled today, to be honest. I had bad starts and we know that I am not a great starter. I stalled the bike in the first turn and managed to climb back to fifteenth, but I am not happy with these results. It was not a bad day for the championship though and we are closing in on the rider in sixth place.”
