Jens Walvoort of BTS Racing claimed a top ten finish at the thirteenth round of the MX2 World Championship, held this past weekend in Finland.
On Saturday, Walvoort already showed strong potential on the newly built Kymiring circuit. As the day progressed, he found his rhythm on the sandy surface and qualified in twelfth place for the main event.
A great start in the opening moto saw Walvoort riding inside the top five early on. Unfortunately, a crash set him back significantly. Despite the setback, he launched a strong comeback and managed to salvage a respectable fifteenth place.
In the second moto, Walvoort bounced back impressively. Starting from twelfth, he steadily moved up to tenth place and held that position all the way to the finish line.
These results earned him twelfth overall for the day and moved him up to 23rd in the championship standings. The next Grand Prix will take place in Loket, Czech Republic, on the weekend of July 26–27.
