Toendel!!

Ridelow

I don’t see anyone else have mentioned it but coming from Norway, first supercross, rides first half of the heat in qualifying position before drifting back and then leading the lcq until halfway is a damn good first showing! 

I’m sure getting used to the intensity and just stadium racing general and we might have a fun wildcard to watch! 

Hopefully he stays healthy til outdoors!

I liked Diffey's comment during the LCQ when Tondel and Freddie were starting to battle for first, "How often do we get say in Supercross, the Norwegian is fending off the Swede!" Tondel also rode a couple rounds of the outdoors last summer on the factory HRC 450. I think I remember hearing a segment on TV where Lars talked about some sort of connection the two had. Seemed like he rode well in the early laps, I think southwick he ran inside the top 10 for a few laps.

He wasn’t on a HRC bike when he was here, just a loaner production bike that Lars and the guys let him borrow. His team brought their own parts.

You'd think they could have got the spelling ( and pronunciation ) of his name right . 

Toendel, Not Tondol.

I don't remember the races but Tøndel was 3rd in the qualifying after winning group B at Southwick. Looks like AMA couldn't find the Norwegian flag 😅

He's been racing local races here in Illinois the past few weeks, was wild to see him up front on TV after seeing him take a gate drop with 5 other dudes 30 minutes from my house.
