MXGP of Italy. The 4th stage in 2015

Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing has had a difficult fourth round of the World Championship in Arco di Trento, Italy this weekend. Aleksandr Tonkov finished in eight position in the first MX2 race but in the second race he was on his way to score a top five position when he got a small technical issue which forced him to retire from the race.

Aleksandr was riding aboard the complete new Husqvarna FC250 model 2016 in Arco di Trento. He showed everybody what the bike is capable of because in the qualifying heat he took the holeshot and was leading the field going into turn one. In the beginning things were going fine but due to arm pump he had to lower the pace a bit and finally finished in sixth position.

In the first moto he worked himself up from ninth position to sixth position. The pace was high and unfortunately he got a bit of arm pump again. He had to lower the pace and lost two positions in the closing stages of the race to finally finish in eight position. In the second moto he took a much better start and in the beginning of the race he was riding in third position. Unfortunately he got a small technical issue which forced him to retire from the race. Because he didn’t score points in the second moto he had to be satisfied with fifteenth position overall. After four rounds he sits in eight position in the championship.
