NIn Finland, the EMX250 riders still have three rounds to go. Noel Zanocz (3-1), winner at the KymiRing, showed, however, that the battle isn't over yet. Leader Janis Reisulis crashed yesterday, but he managed to limit the damage with a 4th-place finish.
After Sampo Rainio, another wildcard rider took the holeshot. Sandro Sols wouldn't lead for long. Reisulis (photo below) quickly took the lead. Besides Zanocz, the Kosdak KTM duo of Valentin Kees and Bradley Mesters also got off to a good start!
Reisulis held his own at the front, but after Zanocz had dealt with Kees, he caught up with his title rival around the halfway point. The JM Honda Racing rider then pulled away and won by over 8 seconds over Reisulis. Dane Nicolai Skovbjerg, a surprising 2nd yesterday, was also impressive today. From 12th place, the Yamaha rider moved up to P3, securing his first EMX250 podium finish! In the standings, he now sits in 6th place behind Finland.
Yesterday's winner also had a tough job to do. Francisco Garcia was 25th after the opening lap. The Spanish Bud Racing talent fought his way up to 10th place in the final stages. Just enough to keep Reisulis off the podium!
Ivano Van Erp and Bradley Mesters were close to each other, just like yesterday. Van Erp finished 6th, earning him 6th place in the final standings. Mesters finished 7th and 7th in the final standings. Gyan Doensen finished 9th. In the standings, Zanocz now trails Reisulis by 28 points. In-form rider Francisco Garcia is third, though he trails Janis Reisulis by 69 points. The EMX250 riders now have a break of over a month. The championship continues in Udddevalla, Sweden, on August 16th and 17th.
