MUD FEST AT ITS BEST!
The MXGP track in Uddevalla was definitely not showing its best side this weekend. Rain, rain and more rain — bikes were stuck everywhere, and the track turned into a real mud battle.
JWR Honda MX Team Sweden has unfortunately had some bad luck with injuries, meaning both of our 250 riders were out. That left our two 450 riders, Filip Olsson and Linus Grelsson, to take on the mudfest.
The racing was brutal, with riders getting stuck all over the track. It was almost like a lottery this weekend, with simply finishing the races being a challenge.
Filip had some strong riding throughout the day, but unfortunately got stuck in the second moto. He never gave up and fought all the way to the finish, taking P7 overall.
Linus also had some good rides and finished P13 overall, despite getting stuck in the downhill section of the track.
Many bikes suffered in the extreme conditions, but the Honda bikes kept running strong throughout the mud, which was a big positive for the team.
A huge thank you to Uddevalla MK for doing a great job preparing and running the event under such difficult conditions. It is definitely not easy to organize a race when the weather turns a track into this kind of mudfest!
We definitely missed our 250 riders Hugo and Noel, but they will be back soon.
