Podium results for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna at gp of Finland
With top three results for riders in all classes the GP of Finland marked a positive end to the first half of the 2016 #enduro World Championship for Rockstar Energy #husqvarna Factory #racing.
For Husqvarna’s #enduro2 class rider #mathiasbellino the GP of Finland ended with two strong runner-up results. Pushing hard throughout the #event the Frenchman was unable to challenge for the class win on either day but came away from the series’ fourth round with a strong haul of championship points. Putting his disappointing GP of Greece performance well and truly behind him, Bellino will now lead the Rockstar Energy #husqvarna Factory #racing team into the second half of the #enduro World Championship series.
Enduro 1 class rider #pascalrauchenecker had much to be pleased about at the end of the Finnish GP. Securing a career first EWC podium result on day one with third, the Austrian backed it up with a strong fourth place result on day two. Throughout the weekend Pascal battled with teammate #dannymccanney, getting the better of the Manxman by just under six seconds on day one.
It was also a positive weekend for #dannymccanney, who like Rauchenecker secured a podium result in #enduro 1. Denied a spot on the podium by his teammate on day one, on day two McCanney upped his pace to claim third. With it he improved to third in the #enduro 1 championship standings.
Josep Garcia’s time in Finland ended with the young Spaniard failing to finish the second day after injuring his knee. Showing impressive speed in the #enduro Junior class on day one, Josep placed as runner-up to championship leader Giacomo Redondi. Josep currently holds third in the #enduro Junior series standings.
Husqvarna supported rider Jane Daniels enjoyed a hugely successful GP of Finland, topping the Women’s class on both days. With the first of four rounds of the Women’s championship completed, Jane holds an eight-point advantage.
The Rockstar Energy #husqvarna Factory #racing team will next head to Sweden for round five of the 2016 #enduro World Championship on June 18-19.
Mathias Bellino: “It’s been a good but difficult weekend. I’m certainly not at my best in these conditions but I did my best. Both days were pretty good for me. I could see that fighting for the win was going to be hard, but to finish as runner-up on both days is good. Also, it was important not to pick up any injuries and that was very easy to do here. No, I’m happy. I gave all I had this weekend and I’m pleased with my results.”
Pascal Rauchenecker: “It’s been a difficult but rewarding GP for me. I’ve tried to improve at each race but this GP I really felt that I rode better. I made a pretty good start on day one, a good first lap. The second lap was ok and then I had a pretty big crash on the final #enduro test. Finally I was able to finish ahead of McCanney, which was great. Day two was generally good. I didn't have any really good tests but also no really bad tests. It was a really hard day but I’m pleased to finish fourth. The #enduro test was horrible, but it was really important not to make mistakes there. I wasn’t expecting to finish on the podium in conditions like this, but I’m really pleased about it.”
Danny McCanney: “I’m over the moon to get back on the podium. The event’s been a tough one for everyone but I made a few too many mistakes during the first day, and was too cautious on the final #enduro test. It was such a fine line between not pushing enough and pushing too much. I had a few small bike issues early on day two so it was hard getting up to speed during the first lap. But things improved and I picked up more speed and consistency in the #enduro test compared to day one. I just kept pushing as hard as I could all day. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to catch the first two riders but my focus was to finish third. It feels like a win to be back on the podium again. I know I’ve not ridden like I can during the last GPs so I really wanted to get back on the podium. It’s great that I was able to do that here in Finland.”
