The 16th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship took riders to Uddevalla, Sweden, a circuit that has been part of the series for over half a century. Known for its hard, rocky surface mixed with granite and sand from the nearby quarry, the track delivered both promise and setbacks for Jeremy Seewer and Mattia Guadagnini.

Strong Start Ends in Misfortune for Seewer

Despite qualifying only 14th on Saturday, Seewer launched brilliantly in race one, quickly battling into the top six. By lap three, the Swiss rider had climbed into fourth and was maintaining an impressive pace. However, a heavy crash on the downhill section cut his charge short, forcing him to retire.

Guadagnini, starting from the outside after a 17th-place qualifying, showed determination on his Desmo450 MX. He steadily climbed the order, reaching eighth before slipping back to 10th at the flag.

Grit and Determination in Race Two

Still battered from his earlier fall, Seewer bravely lined up for race two. Once again, he got away strongly but was squeezed at the first corner and dropped to 12th. Digging deep, he maintained steady speed to secure 11th and score valuable championship points.

Guadagnini, eager to build on his earlier top-10 finish, ran wide near the holeshot stripe and hit the barriers, sending him to the back of the field. Despite pushing hard, two further crashes left him 22nd at the finish and outside the points.

Championship Standings and Next Round

Seewer leaves Sweden ninth in the championship standings, while Guadagnini remains 17th. Both riders will now look ahead to the MXGP of the Netherlands in Arnhem, the final European round of the season. The sandy track holds special significance, as it hosted the racing debut of the Desmo450 MX with Antonio Cairoli a year ago.

Rider Reactions

Mattia Guadagnini: “It was quite a positive weekend, where we made a big step forward. In the first race, I managed to climb to eighth and hold it for most of the moto before slipping to 10th. The second race didn’t go as planned—I went wide into the barriers, then crashed twice trying to recover. Still, I pushed to finish the race.”

Jeremy Seewer: “Race one started really positively, and then turned negative quickly with the big crash. The pace was there, the bike was the best it’s been, and we’ve worked hard to get back strong at the start. The second moto was better, with another good jump, but I got squeezed. Overall, I’m taking positives—we learned a lot, the bike feels great, and I’m not injured, just bruised. Even in the sand next weekend, we should be stronger.”
