Lindgren had chosen red lane one in the final series. A course from which he won two heats earlier in the night.
But at first he never got away. The explanation was problems with the carburetor. The bike never accelerated at the time of departure.
– The bike left at the start. I knew the golden opportunity was long gone, but it would have been fun to end the season with a win. I felt like I had a really good chance from track one and drove really fast through the night, Lindgren told speedwaygp.com after the race.
I’ve never been closer
The finish was a real anticlimax for Lindgren, who in the end had a chance to win the gold and also had the grip of silver before the bike went off in the final heat.
Now he became a new World Cup bronze, the second in his career along with the 2018 medal.
After meeting for a bit, he stated the following:
– In general, I have had a very good season. But the last time I took bronze I was definitely a lot happier than tonight. But on the other hand, I have never been as close to winning gold as this year. I didn’t go the last time, so it’s a step in the right direction, says Fredrik Lindgren.
