First top ten for Nikolaj Larsen!
Last weekend was an important moment for the Standing Construct Suzuki team as they achieved their first top ten finish in the MX2 World Championship during the Italian Grand Prix in Fermo.
Already during the qualifying round on Saturday it became clear that Nikolaj Larsen was in good shape. After confirmation in the warm-up on Sunday morning, with an 11de time, he managed to reward the team's hard work with a brilliant 10 in the first roundde place. After a good start, the “Belgian Dane” even managed to progress to a 7de halfway through the heat, but the intense heat forced the extremely fit rider to drop the pace, allowing Charlier, Tixier and Butron to remount him. The final 10de However, the place was above expectations and shows that both the material and Larsen himself offer even more possibilities for the rest of the season.
In the second moto the Standing rider was the victim of a huge crash at the start. Being the last to leave, he managed to reassemble to a nice 15de place what gives him an overall 13de final position and a total of 17 world championship points. For Jens Getteman it was a Grand Prix with trial and error, although this is certainly not surprising in this first year at the highest level for him. In the second heat the young Belgian proved with a 25th After also being involved in the massive crash at the start and a smaller slide afterwards, he has the necessary fighting spirit and perseverance.
The team is therefore looking forward with great anticipation to the further evolution of the Topsport Vlaanderen rider. Nikolaj Larsen's next race on the program is the Mexican Grand Prix in Guadalajara. Jens Getteman will continue to prepare for the next European Grand Prix in Saint Jean d'Angely, where we will also see the team's great promise, Damon Graulus, in action for the first time in the first race of the European MX2 Championship.
