MXGP - Thomas Kjer-Olsen continues his podium streak with third overall in Spain


TWO STRONG PERFORMANCES SEE THE #rockstarenergyhusqvarnafactoryracing RIDER FINISH ON THE #MX2 CLASS PODIUM AT THE GP OF LA COMUNITAT VALENCIANA

Taking place at the RedSand MX Park outside #Valencia, round three of the 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship saw #thomaskjerolsen put in two solid race performances to secure third overall in the highly-competitive #MX2 category. Not off the overall #MX2 class podium so far this season, the #rockstarenergyhusqvarnafactoryracing rider remains second in the class’ provisional championship standings.

Bouncing back from a mediocre race one start, Kjer-Olsen continue pushing hard to wrap up the opening #MX2 #moto in third position. Despite suffering a fall while battling for the lead in #moto two, the young Dane claimed a fourth-place result to end a positive weekend in Spain by securing his third podium result of the series.

For Kjer-Olsen’s #MX2 class teammate #ThomasCovington, round three of the championship in Spain proved to be a tough one. Failing to get the starts he wanted, the #rockstarenergyhusqvarnafactoryracing rider was left with a mountain to climb in both motos. Securing 17/19 results the American wrapped up a challenging GP with 19th overall in #MX2.

In the #mxgp category, #gautierpaulin enjoyed a highly positive weekend at the GP of La Comunitat Valenciana. Securing third in the qualifying race, Gautier’s highlight of the weekend was the early stages of the second #moto. Making a smart move on Tony Cairoli before the end of lap one, the #rockstarenergyhusqvarnafactoryracing rider found himself leading the race for the first five laps. Collecting 7/3 results, the Frenchman placed fifth overall.

Earning a strong seventh place result in his qualifying race, Rockstar Energy #husqvarna Factory Racing’s #maxanstie was unable to contest Sunday’s #mxgp motos following a fall the Brit picked up during the warm-up session.

The #rockstarenergyhusqvarnafactoryracing team will return to action at the fourth round of the 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship in Italy on April 7/8.
