Australia’s Dean Ferris enjoyed the technical Finnish GP circuit.

Australia’s Dean Ferris used the technical Hyvinkaa circuit to his advantage at Finland’s round 12 of the FIM Motocross World Championship over the weekend.

The Australian rider put together a strong 3-3 moto scorecard to earn himself second overall on the day in the stacked MX2 category.

Following a series of rough rounds, Ferris is feeling good about his performance after finding an improved bike setup to tackle the tricky circuit.

“I feel good,” said Ferris. “It has been a few tough races recently and I think it was the track that helped me out today because it was quite technical.

“I got some good starts and my bike was fast all weekend, I was able to put it on the podium again so it’s all-good. We’ve done some testing during the week and found a better setup.

“The engine has been really strong and overall we’ve been sticking to the program. I was just able to keep moving forward today and brought it home in the second moto after [Jordi] Tixier was too far ahead.”

Ferris’ recent second overall matches his season-best runner-up finish from Qatar’s round one of the series. The Queensland native currently sits sixth overall in points with five rounds remaining.
