The FIM Women’s Motocross World Cup finished in Uddevalla today.

There is a new World Champion now and it is Katherine Prumm from New Zealand. This is the best way to recover from the injury of five weeks ago: she broke her wrist in America.

From now on people can leave Sweden and get back to normal nights: here the sunlight is on until 11 pm and comes back at 3 in the morning.

There is a lot of time to be active and motocross felt exactly like that today: the day was actually very busy with the FIM Women’s World Cup joining the usual MX races and some spectators came to the track at 7 am already! They actually did the right choice because the area around the circuit got crowded during the day and at the end spectators were 26500 for the entire weekend.

Team Suzuki’s 21 year old Belgian MX1 World Championship star Kevin Strijbos has re-signed for Suzuki for the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

Sven Breugelmans (BEL, KTM) opened the day winning the first moto. Italian Cristian Beggi (ITA, Honda) ended second with his Honda, that was sandwiched between two KTMs: third was Yves Demaria (FRA, KTM), with Marc Ristori (SUI, Honda) and Enrico Oddenino (ITA, Honda) ending the top five.

It is finished, but just for a week. Today Motocross put an end to its last of three races in a row: it was a complete success in terms of public, with Matterley Basin hosting 39,000 spectators. It was a success also on the race track, which was actually built in a very short time but was demanding enough to offer two excellent races.
