Second place from Estonian SX-final.

Second place from Estonian SX-final.

Estonian supercross series was ridden the first time this year, and the third and final round was raced on Wednesday in Kuimetsa track. Harri won the opening round but he had to pass the second round so he didn’t have much chance in the points. Harri placed second in Kuimetsa when MX1 class rider Tanel Leok took the victory.

- We had a really good fight today with Tanel. He won the qualifying and I took the second place. I didn’t get a good start in the final and I started the heat in sixth place. I quickly made my way to fourth place and in two laps I was second. At that point Tanel had some three seconds advantage against me in the lead. I caught him but I never had a real chance to try to pass him, Harri told.

- Tanel is in eight place in the world championships and he is a really good rider. A few years ago I didn’t even see him in the races, so this showed that I have improved my speed during the past years.

Harri took fourth place in the series points. Estonian Priit Rätsep won the title.

Kullas 11th in Matterley Basin.

13th round held in Matterley Basin, Winchester where has been Motocross of Nations on 2006.
Track is very nice on the side of hill and has a lot of big jumps with the ground of grass.
It rained little bit on Saturday but track were perfect conditions with many deep ruts.

Harri struggled with the bike settings in the morning but made 11th in the qualifying race.

- I made few passes and had some riders in front of me but I got arm pump after half of the race so I finished 11th.

Sunday it was pretty much sunny day whole day and track stayed very nice.

- I didn’t make good starts today, and I was around 20th in both starts. I had to come
behind and couldn’t finish better than 13th in the first race.

- In the second race I had some problems with the bike and couldn’t go to the sighting lap. So I start bad and again made few passes and on the half point of the way I made few mistakes and lost some time and then had gap in front and back, so I couldn’t find the speed to catch guys in front of me and I finished 10th in the second race.

Overall Harri still keeps the 8 position in the standings. Championship continues next
time in Gaildorf, Germany.
