DIGA Procross KTM Racing athletes with strong performances in Argentina, solid points haul, but also bad luck in the second race for TKO.
The young German Jermey Sydow, who competes for the DIGA Procross KTM Racing Team in MX2, showed a strong performance in his first overseas race and finished in the top 10 in both races. Thomas Kjer Olsen (MXGP) seamlessly continued his strong performance from the previous weeks, but then had bad luck in the second race.
· Eighth overall for Jeremy Syodw
· Thomas Kjer Olsen in the top group in all sessions
· Next stop MXGP of Portugal
Jermey Sydow already laid the foundation for a successful race Sunday on Saturday with ninth place in the qualifying race. In the first heat, Sydow established himself in tenth place on lap two and retained this position until the chequered flag. In the second race, Jeremy Sydow increased the pace again at the end of the race and secured seventh place in the end.
Jeremy Sydow: "It was a very successful trip to Argentina for me and my team. I felt comfortable from session to session on the super fast and challenging track and I'm happy to have achieved my best result in the MX2 World Championship with seventh place in the second round."
Thomas Kjer Olsen, who was in brilliant form throughout the weekend and delivered strong performances on both Saturday and Sunday. A good start in the first heat put Olsen directly in the leading group and he finished the race in fifth place. In the second heat, Olsen crashed on the first lap and subsequently had to retire early from the race.
Thomas Kjer Olsen: "Until my crash in the second race it was a great weekend for me. I felt super comfortable and was able to keep up with the leading group in every session. With fifth place in the first run, I was able to bring in a good result and wanted to seamlessly follow up on the result in the second run."
Next up for DIGA Procross KTM Racing is the MXGP of Portugal. The race in Agueda will take place on April 03.
