Saturday: the day started with free practice and time practice and I had the 2 fastest lap time in both sessions only some one hundreds of a second after the winner. But it gave me a good position on the gate, I lined up as 3rd. I felt good and everything was rolling.
Race 1: Good jump of the gate and I was around 5 in the first turn. The guys in front of me had good speed and I did my best to keep up. In the middle of the race I was in 3rd but had a slight mistake and one of the fast home riders passed me and I lost a bit of time but I came back and it was drag race to the finnish line with three riders but I ended up in a disappointed 4 position. I had some problems in the beginning, I felt stiff and find no rythm but as the Moto went on I find some good speed and I was really strong.
Race 2: It rain very hard and it was to be a big mud race, happy that I prepared my Scott prospect goggles in perfect shape and the race started of with me getting a okay jump of the gate and I was around 8 in the first couple of turns, but I fast made my way up to 4 and after first lap I find myself in 3 and right behind the championship leader, I I tried my best to pass but the track was only one line almost so it was hard, I had some locations were I tried but I was all the time a little bit to far behind I made a little stop to fix with my goggles and I lost some time but I was fast back right behind the second guy and made a charge in the last lap were I also posted the fastest lap time of the race but it was just not enough, I was 0,3 seconds after in the finnish line and just 2 seconds after the winner. Disappointed again with losing just with some seconds but it is how it is, I made my best but I now I can more.
Overall: going 4th and 3rd in the motos resulting in a 4th position overall, in the same point as 3rd and just 2 points after second. I am disappointed not going on the podium but it was thug with the conditions and fast riders. I felt all weekend that I was slipping on the finish line, and I'm tired of getting in 4 overall , but I'll keep my speed up and hoping for good racing in Estonia Juniors world championship in a couple of weeks.
