After a disappointing GP in France, Salvini was focused to recover and gain important points to get closer to the first position. On Saturday, the Italian rider proved to be trained, in shape and 100% ready for the challenge and got the first place in the chrono sessions. Galvanized by the result, on Sunday Alex was ready to win but in the morning, during the test sessions, Salvini fell and hurt his right knee. Even thought the pain was high, Salvini took part to both heats, but couldn’t get further than 8th and 5th places. As result, Alex is on second place in the championship provisional classification at 29 from actual leader Renet. Salvini teammate Martin did not shine for his performances either. After conquering the third step of the podium in France, Tof had some hard times in Finland and was 2 times 6th placed resulting 5th in the MX3 classification. Only two races are left before the 2009 MX3 World Championship closes its doors. Next round is scheduled for this week end in Denmark.
