 Tommy Searle raced to his second consecutive GP victory in the ninth round of the FIM World MX2 Motocross Championship at Uddevalla in Sweden to move relentlessly closer to the series pacesetter.
The British leader of Team Floride Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit dominated both motos in changeable weather conditions, only desperate bad luck denying him a double victory as he was forced to pit for fresh goggles during the opening rain-affected moto before charging back to miss victory by just three seconds. He underlined his physical strength and the power of his Kawasaki KX250F with a clearcut victory in the second moto; it was the fifth consecutive GP in which he has won the energy-sapping second race. The victory moves Searle to within 16 points of the championship pacesetter with seven GPs of the 16 round series remaining.
