Nestaan Husqvarna factory rider, Kay De Wolf has won the MXGP of Finland in the MX2 class with a perfect 1-1 performance. What was more important, the defending World MX2 champion has also closed the gap somewhat to series leader, Simon Langenfelder, who struggled in Finland.

Kay De Wolf: This was the goal, we sat down after Matterley and made a plan and we wanted 60 points from this round, so it happened. I skipped my holiday and just worked. My mechanic drove a lot of hours to get me to practice and this is an emotional one after all the work we put in. Thanks to my girlfriend and the team. I managed my riding this weekend and we did what we had to do, going 1-1-1. I am already looking forward to Loket.

Andrea Adamo: It was a good, solid weekend and what we needed. It is hard to beat Kay in the sand, so a good result with 2-3 and staying close.

Sasha Coenen: I am really happy to have a podium this weekend, because I was really sick all week and this weekend.

Second overall was Red Bull KTM factory rider, Andrea Adamo with 2-3 and third another KTM factory rider, Sasha Coenen with 4-2. Championship points are now Simon Längenfelder 613 points, Andrea Adamo 570pts, Kay de Wolf 565pts, Sacha Coenen 482pts and Liam Everts 464pts.
