Jarno Boano: "The Finnish GP was a challenging, intense race, where the route and special tests were classic Finnish ones. Special tests that made the difference and where the slightest mistake still cost several riders dearly, especially in the Extreme Test. Fortunately, at least the weather was kind. For Zach Pichon, two positive results, although with a bit of disappointment for the second day. On Day 1, he finished with an excellent third place in the EGP class and second in E2. On Sunday, he confirmed his second place in E2 and would have also confirmed his third place in EGP if it hadn't been for a 30-second penalty for the noise test. What we didn't "digest" was that the bike passed the noise tests without problems both on Friday and Saturday evening at the end of the race, but as always, FIM decisions are final; the stewards and the instruments never make mistakes! Pichon, however, remains in second place in the E2 class and third in EGP in the Championship.
It was a difficult weekend for Matteo Cavallo, who finished with a fifth and seventh place in E3, thirteenth and twentieth in EGP. Matteo now occupies sixth place in the E3 championship and fifteenth in EGP. In the Junior class, our Elgari demonstrated great speed, but several crashes on both days prevented him from achieving what he had hoped for. He finished fifth in EJ and second in EJ1 on Saturday, and third in EJ and winner of EJ1 on Sunday. With these results, Alberto remains the leader in EJ1 and moves into second place in EJ, three points behind the leader. Verzeroli started the race weekend with a heavy crash in the Extreme Test, which affected his Saturday race. He finished ninth in EJ and sixth in EJ2. On Sunday, he managed to perform a little better, with some times in the top three of the Junior class, and finished the day with a sixth place in EJ and fifth in EJ2. After this race, Manuel finished sixth in EJ2 and eighth in EJ. We certainly all expected something better from this GP, but the races That's how it is, there are difficult days that require a strong reaction in order to recover. But despite everything, on Sunday evening, the atmosphere in the team was calm, and that's the most important thing!.

Deny Philippaerts: "For our junior riders, this was their first experience on Nordic terrain, which has always been very difficult at first impact. After a difficult first day, the results improved on the second day. Scardina made a big mistake on Saturday in the second extreme test, which cost him the victory at the end of the day. On the second day, he showed great speed and, with two special stages to go, was leading by over 20 seconds, but unfortunately a technical problem stopped him. A heavy zero, which still places him in second place in the Championship, just three points behind the leader. After a difficult first day with several crashes, Giordano bounced back on Day 2 with an excellent fifth place, thus scoring his first top five. Gabriele now occupies eighth place in the Championship. It was a difficult weekend for Berger, who was unable to find the right rhythm in the treacherous Finnish special stages, finishing eleventh and thirteenth. Samuli Boano had the same difficulties, who, in his first world championship season, concentrated his efforts on finishing the race, finishing with a Fifteenth and eighteenth place in EJ1. I think it was a great experience for all of them to build on and build their futures. Now a few days off and then we'll get to work for the two Portuguese GPs."
