F&H Kawasaki Racing Team rider Kevin Horgmo Raced to Fifth Overall in the Finnish Round of the FIM World MX2 Motocross Championship at the Vantaa Facility.
Bright skies greeted the teams and fans on race-day and the Norwegian made the most of two top-six starts on the extremely-fast "hard sand" track where the charge to turn one was of great significance. He was fourth from start-to-finish in the first moto, missing the moto-podium by just two seconds. Sixth after the first few turns of race two he surrendered one position at half-distance and spent the remainder of the race frustratingly endeavoring to move around the rider he had chased all moto. Fifth overall on the day Horgmo remains ninth in the series standings.
F&H teammate David Braceras posted a stunning eighth in moto one. The rookie rode a tremendous opening four laps to push forward from ninth to sixth around the sandy track so different to those he was brought up on in his native Spain. He was eventually pushed back to eighth in the closing laps as he was passed by a couple of Belgians so used to this type of track but remained calm to claim a top-ten moto finish for the second time in eight days. An incident on the opening lap of race two left him tailed off at the back of the field but he persevered throughout the thirty-five-minute race to claim fifteenth at the checkered flag, missing the top-ten overall by just a single point. He is eighteenth in the championship standings.
