"Last time I took bronze I was happier"

Lindgren had chosen red lane one in the final heat.

A course he won two heats from earlier in the evening.

But in the beginning he never got away.

The explanation was problems with the carburetor.

The bike never got speed in the starting moment.

- The bike left at the start.

I knew the golden opportunity was already gone, but it would have been fun to end the season with a victory.

I felt that I had a really good chance from track one and drove really fast during the evening, Lindgren told speedwaygp.com after the race.

Never been closer

The end was a real anticlimax for Lindgren, who in the end had a chance at the gold and also had the grip on the silver before the bike left in the final heat.

Now it became a new World Cup bronze, his second in his career together with the medal from 2018.

After gathering a little, he stated the following:

- Overall, I have had a really good season.

But last time I took bronze I was definitely much happier than I am tonight.

But on the other hand, I have never been closer to winning gold as I have been this year.

I was not last time, so it is a step in the right direction, says Fredrik Lindgren.
