Mixed fortunes for Standing Construct GasGas Factory Racing in MXGP Lombardia

Returning to action after missing round 16 with illness, Brian Bogers converted his two great starts, impressive speed, and never give up attitude, into a strong 10th-place overall result in the MXGP class at the penultimate round of the world championship MXGP in Mantova. With just one round remaining, the Dutchman lies 12th in the series standings.

Unfortunately for Pauls Jonass, his season has come to a premature end after breaking three ribs just 10 days ago. The super-tough Latvian gave it a go in free practice but was forced to call it a day because of the pain. Certainly not the way it was meant to end, now Jonass can focus on getting himself back to 100% during the off-season.

Brian Bogers: “It’s pretty crazy as even on Wednesday this week I couldn’t do anything and then today I’m battling in the top-10 of MXGP! In the first moto I had a small issue with my suspension so I had to slow down a little, but I bounced back for a solid eighth in race two. Looking ahead to Wednesday and the final round, I want to end the championship with a better result than today, so I’ll be going full gas and looking to end the season on a high.”

Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing will line up for the final round of the FIM Motocross World Championship this coming Wednesday. Returning to the Mantova venue, the 18th and final round will determine the final championship positions for our elite motocross racers.
