Gifting has so far done its best on sand courses.
That's why today's effort is truly impressive.
- The course here in Trentino is one of the toughest on the tour.
I'm really happy that I did this well, Isak continues.
It was a wonderful Swedish day in Italy when Alvin Östlund finished eight in total.
The Honda driver ended up just outside the top-10 in the summary, in 11th place.
Gifting finished twelfth despite eight (!) Missed races.
Isak's progress has put Sweden on the cross map again.
After the 19-year-old made his entrance as a jumper in the GASGAS team, the road to the top has been straight.
He was awarded a factory steering for the Spanish motorcycle manufacturer 2021 in the MX2 WC.
Got a Grycksboexpress
Dalarna has received a new Grycksboexpress in Gifting.
The original is called Torbjörn Eriksson and was a sharp athlete in the 90's, sprint at 200 and 100 meters.
The new edition has presented itself in earnest at the top of the world and has the right conditions to become a big star in the sport.
- Now I will go home to Dalarna for a while.
Then it's time to start working on the next World Cup season.
The British Ben Watson won the competition before the already clear world champion Tom Vialle, France.
