MX1
Red
Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Cairoli obtained his second
Lovemytime pole position award of the season after winning the MX1
Qualifying race. Cairoli did an excellent start and kept the lead until
the chequered flag.


Other Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX1’s rider, Nagl, crossed the
finish line second, five seconds behind Cairoli. The German was third in
the MX1 qualifying race in la Bañeza two weeks ago, but he could not
obtain a good result on Sunday, so Nagl is now determined to finish with
his bad luck streak and fight for the podium tomorrow.


LS Honda Racing’s De Dycker rode fourth during the first half of the MX1
Qualifying race, but he managed to pass Frossard from the inside and
kept the third position until the end of the heat. De Dycker is very
confident for tomorrow and he believes he will start obtaining better
results from now to the end of the season.


Monster Energy Yamaha’s Frossard did not have a very good start and had
to fight from an initial fifth position. The French was already third in
the second lap, but he could not keep the position until the end of the
race and De Dycker overtook him on lap eight.

after the start, but he went down to the sixth position as he did a
small mistake. The Italian finished fifth and he is confident for
tomorrow’s races.


Home rider Filip Thuresson finished in a solid fifteenth position after starting from the 19th place.


Desalle struggled a lot with his injured shoulder today and he was not
fortunate at all, as he was involved in a tangle right after the start
of the MX1 Qualifying race. Desalle injured his other shoulder today, so
it will be a tough day for him tomorrow.

MX2
Red
Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX2’s Roczen dominated once more the MX2
Qualifying race and he will be able to choose the best gate tomorrow.
The German admitted that he does not feel any pain on his back while he
is riding, but he is not yet 100% recovered, as he still feels some pain
after he rides.


Monster Energy Yamaha’s Gautier was fourth in the opening lap, but he
had a very good speed and managed to move to the second position already
on the second lap. The French closed the gap with Roczen by the end of
the race and he crossed the finish line just one second behind the
German.

Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing’s MX2’s Herlings took
the holeshot and he managed to finish third. The Dutch rider was very
satisfied with his performance, as all the team have been working really
hard on the settings of the bike and they are looking forward to
obtaining a good result tomorrow.


CLS Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit’s Searle starred in a thrilling
battle for the second position with Paulin and Herlings during the first
half of the race, but he had to settle down with a final fourth
position. Tomorrow is going to be a crucial day for Searle, as he is
third in the Championship and Uddevalla marks the mid-point of the
season.


Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX2’s Van Horebeek finished in a solid
fifth position in his comeback to the series. The Belgian rider missed
the beginning of the season due to a shoulder injury, but he has been
training really hard during the last three weeks and he is confident to
do well tomorrow and improve GP per GP.


Valentin Teillet, who was also back from a shoulder injury he suffered
in Bulgaria, finished in a consistent eighth position, while Max Anstie
finished 14th.
