Roan van de Moosdijk ends the season with Turkiye Podium

ROAN VAN DE MOOSDIJK PUTS FC 250 ON MX2 PODIUM FOR THE FIRST TIME.

MATTIGHOFEN, AUSTRIA – September 4, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – The Grand Prix of Turkiye, held on the hard-pack layout of Afyonkarahisar that was introduced four seasons ago, hosted the grand finale of the 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship earlier today. The Husqvarna Factory Racing stars performed well in the humid conditions; Roan van de Moosdijk recorded the strongest result via 4-3 scores in the MX2 division.

Moosdijk has shown some impressive pace since his return to racing and was desperately trying to achieve a podium ranking before the end of the campaign. ’39’ delivered in Turkiye! Pushing to fourth in moto one was not an easy task, as he completed the first lap in the lower half of the top ten, but he persevered. The second moto was similar to the first – he had to make more passes to progress to third in the moto and secure the same ranking in the overall classification. A good haul of points helped him climb into thirteenth in the championship standings too, despite missing eleven rounds with an injury.

Kay de Wolf strung two impressive motos together at the Grand Prix of Turkiye. The first moto was certainly his finest work, as he went with the series leaders and placed himself in a duel for the runner-up position. ’74’ eventually took third in the moto and then had another brilliant start in moto two, thanks to the power in his FC 250. Sixth was the ranking that he eventually took and that put him fourth in the overall classification at the finale. De Wolf progressed to sixth in the final championship standings as well, despite missing three events earlier in the year.

The Grand Prix started with a lot of promise for Brian Bogers; he started proceedings by posting the fourth-fastest time in free practice. ‘189’ struggled to bring that speed to the motos, unfortunately, but he did put his FC 450 into the top ten in moto one. Tenth was his result in that first stint and then he followed that up by securing the same result in the second moto. Unsurprisingly, 10-10 scores put him tenth in the overall classification.

Sadly, Pauls Jonass of the Standing Construct Husqvarna Factory Racing team was unable to take part after suffering a thumb injury. ’41’ ended ninth in the premier-class championship standings, with a season-best finish of second overall at his home Grand Prix in Latvia.
