Coenen 1-1 in Sweden
Sasha Coenen of the Red Bull KTM factory team is back with a win at the Swedish GP at the Uddevalla circuit today, with a 1-1 performance and made a big challenge to series leader, Guillem Farres, who crashed again in the second moto today, but finished with 6-4 results for fourth overall. Second overall in the GP was Liam Everts with 2-2 and third Camden McLellan with 3-3 scores.
Sasha Coenen: I am back, I am back where I belong and I am really happy with the work with the team and also with the physio. I am so happy, I have no words for this. Not so much to say. Happy on Sunday, I was not happy on Saturday and I dealt with the pressure on Sunday.
Championship points are now Guillem Farres 701 points, Sacha Coenen 677pts, Camden Mc Lellan 656pts, Simon Längenfelder 640pts and Liam Everts 595pts. We go to Arnhem with the MX2 championship now wide open again.
