Press release available only in original language. 

Team HRC’s #timgajser finished just over one second behind the winner in the MXGP of #russia qualification race, giving him second pick and a good chance to extend his run of four race victories in a row, when the races resume tomorrow. In scorching temperatures, the Orylonok track near the Black Sea in #russia turned into an extremely tricky proposition with CRF450RW teammate #brianbogers one of a few riders to fall victim to the slippery hard-pack conditions, as he crashed and finished just outside the top 20.

After posting the second fastest time in free practice, Gajser showed great speed and resilience to take the first gate pick in qualification, posting a few laptimes that were slightly slower before finally getting the top spot with his penultimate lap. Although he had the benefit of the number one spot, he wasn’t able to take full advantage of this as he rounded the first bend in around 10th place.

On a track that is difficult to pass on, the Slovenia rider had to move quickly to get into position and by the end of the first lap had moved up to sixth place. A few more passes followed before he was held up for five laps in third place. Eventually he moved into second place but with only three laps left he didn’t have enough time to make a move for the lead and instead had to settle for second. However, Gajser knows he has the speed and if he can get out the gate well in both races, he has a very good chance to take more races wins, and add to the victories he picked up at the last two GPs in Portugal and France.
