Nestaan Husqvarna factory rider and defending MX2 champion, Kay De Wolf has won the Saturday qualifier in Finland. The Dutchman, who started well moved into the lead when his team-mate and early leader, Liam Everts crashed hard and retired from the moto. Second in the moto was Redbull KTM factory rider, Sasha Coenen, and third Guillem Farres of the Triumph factory team.

Kay De Wolf: Felt really good. I hope Liam is okay. He was trapped underneath the bike and I wasn't sure what you should do, it was last year in China he was also trapped under the bike like that. In the end, you have to keep racing, and it was good qualifying race, I would have been happy with second behind him. Looking forward to tomorrow.
