The two Red Bull Ducati MXGP Factory Team riders finished Saturday at the Swiss Grand Prix just outside the top 10.
The third round of the FIM Motocross World Championship , the Swiss Grand Prix, takes place this weekend in Frauenfeld, north of Zurich in the Canton of Thurgau. This is a particularly significant event for Jeremy Seewer, who is competing in his home race, having been born just a few kilometers from the track.
After finishing ninth in MXGP free practice, Jeremy Seewer finished the next timed session 14th, ahead of teammate Calvin Vlaandeen, who wasn’t entirely comfortable on the twisty Swiss track and was 17th at the end of the 25-minute session preceding Saturday’s qualifying race. Getting off to a good start aboard his #91 Desmo450 MX machine, Seewer managed to move into fourth place at the first corner but struggled to immediately find a good feeling on the wet track and crossed the finish line in ninth place on the first lap, while Vlaanderen was unable to avoid a rider who fell at the start and crashed, rejoining in 34th place. Undeterred, the Dutch began a strong comeback that saw him climb to thirteenth place overall, despite a mid-race crash slowing his pace, which, however, did not prevent him from crossing the checkered flag behind Seewer in 12th place.
