In the first heat, the margin of victory for second place was Albin Gerhardsson, Hallsberg MK.

In the second heat, runner-up Ken Bengtsson, Getinge MK, drove in 43 seconds behind the superb SMK Dala driver.

- Even if the starts were not so successful, this was a nice proof of where we stand before the World Cup, Gifting continues.

After the premiere success, Gifting opens up for more entries in the Swedish Championships.

There is much to suggest that Isak will come home from Germany and also run the second Swedish Championship competition in Uddevalla 15-16 May.

- I'm quite hungry for it.

SM management and I do not think it is impossible to persuade the team.

Hope for Uddevalla

A World Cup competition is planned to be decided in Uddevalla on 15 August.

At the moment, the audience issue is crucial and the organizer is awaiting the government's new announcement.

- It would of course be great if the competition ends and I get a workout on the track.

It is fantastic, says Isak.

Anton Gole, Tibro MK, won all four heats in the MX1 class while Matilda Huss, Uppsala MK, convinced in MX Women.

Today she was only four seconds behind World Cup-qualified Dane Sara Andersen in both heats.
