GASGAS Factory Racing has completed a challenging fifth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship despite both riders overcoming various forms of adversity in the Czech Republic. Faring best was MX2 class racer Isak Gifting who, despite taking a trip through the goggle lane early on in race two, came away with a solid 12th overall. Close behind in 13th was teammate Simon Längenfelder.

· The GASGAS Factory Racing riders look ahead to the sixth round in Lommel


Isak Gifting: "It was a difficult day to begin with but for race two I felt really good. I had a great start and I was on the pace with the leaders. I felt comfortable and then unfortunately, a rock broke my goggles. It’s too dangerous on a track like this to ride without them so I had to come in and change them, but as it was early in the race I lost a lot of places. I was way down and got back to 13th, which was good, but it should have been much better. I have plenty of positives to take away from here and I’m looking forward to Lommel next weekend."

After last weekend’s visit to the sandy Oss race track in the Netherlands for MXGP round four, DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Racing packed up the race trucks and travelled to the hardpack circuit of Loket in the Czech Republic for the fifth stop of the series.

In the MX2 class, DIGA Procross’ Isak Gifting added further points to his championship tally with 15-13 results. After a solid opening moto, in race two, a rock damaged the 20-year-old’s goggles, which forced him to take a trip through the goggle lane, losing his place inside the top-10. The Swede then put together a strong charge to climb his way back up the leaderboard, ultimately claiming 13th for 12th overall.
