Brian Bogers finishes sixth in the world championship MXGP 2022

The Grand Prix of Turkiye, held on the hard-pack layout of Afyonkarahisar that was introduced four seasons ago, hosted the grand finale of the 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship earlier today.

The Grand Prix started with a lot of promise for Brian Bogers; he started proceedings by posting the fourth-fastest time in free practice. ‘189’ struggled to bring that speed to the motos, unfortunately, but he did put his FC 450 into the top ten in moto one. Tenth was his result in that first stint and then he followed that up by securing the same result in the second moto. Unsurprisingly, 10-10 scores put him tenth in the overall classification.

Sadly, Pauls Jonass of the Standing Construct Husqvarna Factory Racing team was unable to take part after suffering a thumb injury. ’41’ ended ninth in the premier-class championship standings, with a season-best finish of second overall at his home Grand Prix in Latvia.

Brian Bogers: “I always want to be closer to the front than this, of course, but my starts let me down again. I was happy with my pace and my riding though; I know that I would have been closer to the front if I had better starts. It has been a very good season, overall, with a lot of career milestones. I cannot thank the entire Standing Construct Husqvarna Factory Racing team enough.”
