Thomas Covington wins his first GP of the season in Turkey
After Thomas Covington of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing came close to
winning several times this year, it was finally time this weekend during the eighteenth race
for the X2 World Championship in Turkey to take over first place. Covington took the day
victory and secured his eighth podium place this season. In addition to the success of
Covington, Thomas Kjer Olsen was also allowed to climb the podium with a third place.
The Afyon circuit was fast and Covington felt at home. He was certainly a driver to be taken
into account. In the first moto, he took the lead and managed to win the game. Also in the
second moto he sent his Husqvarna FC250 as a leader through the first corner. He led the
game until he fell in the final phase. Fortunately, the damage was not too bad and he was
still able to cross the finish line in third place, which was enough for the final victory.
