The two race days, preceded by the traditional Friday evening SuperTest, delivered a particularly tough and technical weekend. The three classic special tests – Enduro Test, Cross Test, and Extreme Test – challenged all riders across a course made even more difficult by the Finnish terrain. While Saturday’s conditions were already selective, on Sunday the deep ruts created by the riders’ passage further increased the difficulty of the tests, making each stage even more technical, physical, and demanding.

Kyron Bacon once again proved to be competitive and fully up to the World Championship level, pushing his Kawasaki to the limit from the very start of the weekend. During the first day, the Tasmanian rider was able to adapt perfectly to the challenging conditions of the track, posting solid and consistent times from the very first lap. Lap after lap, Kyron managed to maintain a strong pace despite the progressively worsening special tests, finishing Saturday with a convincing fifth place in the highly competitive Enduro2 class.

Sunday also began with positive feelings and a good rhythm in the early special tests, but a technical issue forced Kyron to retire early, prematurely ending a day that had been showing promise for another strong result.

Enrico Garelli – Team Manager: “It was a weekend of two halves. Saturday started very positively, with Kyron able to be fast and consistent from the very first pass. He built his race on the strong times set in the opening lap, then maintained a competitive pace throughout the day, finishing with an excellent fifth place in class. Sunday unfortunately didn’t go as planned due to a technical issue that stopped us when the feeling was still positive. It’s part of motorsport, but we look ahead with confidence. Now all focus is on the next GP in Portugal.”
 

Kyron Bacon: “I’m satisfied with my performance on Saturday. I was able to find a good feeling straight away and be effective from the early special tests. It’s a shame about a crash that partly affected the final result, but I’m still happy with the fifth place in Enduro2. Sunday is a real shame because the feeling was good and I was managing to keep a solid rhythm. Unfortunately, motorsport is also this. Now we look ahead and focus on the next GP.”
