Febvre, Adamo Fastest In Finland
R
ound 14 of the MXGP of
Finland saw Romain Feb-
vre claim his fifth consecutive
overall victory while Andrea
Adamo swept MX2. But the big-
gest news of the day was MX2
title chaser Jago Geerts suffer-
ing a broken collarbone, and it
appears he'll be sidelined for
multiple races.

The championship heavyweights
all started at the front of the field
in MXGP race one with Jeremy
Seewer leading the way early on
over points leader Jorge Prado
and Febvre. Febvre had other
plans, though, and moved his
way to the lead on lap two. From
there, he held the top spot to
claim yet another moto win and
give him the advantage in the
overall rankings. Seewer and
Prado battled but stayed in their
respective positions.
Race two saw Prado out front
with Febvre close behind. The
two stayed close with neither
rider swapping positions. Prado
took the race win, but his third in
the opening moto dropped him
to second overall. He still leads
the MXGP Championship by a
comfortable 98-point advantage.
Febvre's 1-2 finishes earned him
the overall win. Coldenhoff came
home third in the race and third
overall.
Jeffery Herlings returned to
action and logged 8-4 finishes
for fifth overall.
"I had the speed every time I
was on the track. I just feel one
with the bike and the confidence
is growing," said Febvre. "I came
close a few times but could not
pass. But I knew it was going to
be enough for a GP victory. That
is five in a row; I beat my per
-
sonal record."
MX2
The MX2 Championship is one
to watch as Geerts and Adamo
were neck-and-neck for the title
coming into the race. That all
changed in MX2 race one when
Geerts crashed with another
