WEB Confident win for Gajser in Swedish qualification as Zanchi also impresses
Five-time Motocross World Champion Tim Gajser of the Team HRC factory team has started his preparation for the new term in style after dominating qualifying at the Glimminge Motorstadion near Uddevalla in Sweden.
The 2024 FIM Motocross World Championship MXGP series gets underway next weekend in Argentina, and Gajser looked in ominous form as the riders got their first taste of action on a hard-pack surface.
The Slovenian was fastest in both qualification races, beating Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Seewer by over two seconds in the final session. Gajser’s teammate, Mitch Evans, was third.
Italian rider Alberto Zanchi, who finished sixth in last year's MX2 World Championship, also impressed in his first outing for the SM Action Racing Team Yuasa Battery. The 21-year-old was fifth and sixth in the qualifying races and will be one to watch during the season.
After the qualifying session, Gajser said that he was "feeling good on the bike" and that he is "happy with the way things went today." He added that he "can’t wait for the season to start next weekend.
The first round of the 2024 FIM Motocross World Championship MXGP series will be held in Villa La Angostura, Argentina, on March 12.
