Kristoffersson returns to success, Bakkerud and Larsson on the mat

As we speak to you, Johan Kristoffersson has won his fourth victory of the season. In a few hours, the story could be completely different.

After an eventful start where he closed the door on Andreas Bakkerud by sending him to the mat, Johan Kristoffersson took control of the second final of the weekend and was never worried afterward.

Winner this Saturday of his first race of the season, Timmy Hansen, Kristoffersson's main threat, was unable to do anything. Hindered by Andreas Bakkerud's accident, the Swede lost time from the start and was never able to catch up, not even anticipating his joker lap.

Thus, Johan Kristoffersson rode alone to the checkered flag to win his fourth final of the year. However, this victory is still subject to the decision of the race stewards currently under investigation after the incidents at the start. 

Anton Marklund completed the podium. Mistaken Mattias Ekström finished 4th and last in this final.
