· Simon Langenfelder posts two solid point-scoring rides in Lommel
· Difficult day for Isak Gifting
· The GASGAS Factory Racing riders look ahead to the seventh round in Kegums


Simon Längenfelder: "I felt really good on my bike today. I was flowing in the turns and after qualifying I was really confident for some strong results. Unfortunately, in both races I had to come from the back because of avoiding a crash in race one and then in moto two, I had a really good start, but I was pushed wide and off the track. In that one I came from 25th to ninth so my speed is there, I just needed a little bit of luck to get some better results."

MX2 class, Simon Langenfelder battled through the field in both races to secure an impressive ninth overall. In the opening moto of the day, the young German was lucky to avoid a massive first-turn crash and regrouped to finish 10th. A promising start in moto two quickly became unravelled as the 17-year-old was frustratingly pushed wide and off of the sandy circuit before re-joining the race in 25th. Simon then put together a solid ride, charging hard through the field for a well-deserved ninth.

For Isak Gifting, the young Swede wasn’t quite able to get the best of starts in either race, going on to claim a 16-15 result for 16th overall.

Isak Gifting: “It was difficult today. I know I have the speed and my lap times were really good all day. My starts let me down, really. I need to work on those, start up front and run with the guys at the front. Crashes in both races also didn’t help but I’m positive of getting back to where I should be next weekend in Latvia.”

DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Racing will continue their FIM Motocross World Championship campaigns next weekend at the MXGP of Latvia in Kegums.
