Seewer extends MX2 Championship lead
By TMX Archives on 3rd Apr 17
Jeremy Seewer and the Suzuki World MX2 team head back to Europe after a successful trip to Mexico, where Seewer extended his points at the top of the MX2 World Championship.
Held at the high altitude track in Leon, which is 1800m above sea-level, Seewer got out of the gate well in the first race, controlling it from start to finish for his second race win of his career.
The second race didn't quite go as well with him battling back from a top-10 place to finish fourth, tying him on points with overall winner Thomas Covington, just losing out on the second moto scores.
However, his 43pts saw him extend his lead to eight points over Pauls Jonass as the series heads back to Europe for the next few months.
It was a successful weekend and an important step for the team and rider to keep the red plate for more than one round, the first rider in 2017 to do so.
Seewer had this to say about the racing: "I did everything that I said I wanted to do yesterday. I just let it happen and the results came out well. I had a really good start in the first moto, we knew that I could do that after yesterday so I was pleased with that.
Then I just put in some fast laps and felt good on my bike, I made a gap, and then took the win comfortably. It was nice to take a win in normal conditions, after my first victory which was in the mud in Indonesia.”
