   Fernandez shows speed as returning Gajser has strong moments in Sweden

   18^th Aug 2025: It was a mixed weekend for Team HRC in Sweden, as Tim Gajser’s DNF–7 finish didn’t reflect his true speed, while Ruben Fernandez came within touching distance of the podium with a strong 4–8 score. Gajser showed promise with an early charge toward the top three in both motos, but a collision in race one and a late mistake in race two limited his results. Fernandez impressed with fourth in moto one and fought hard again in moto two, but just missed out on a top-three overall.In MX2, Italian youngster Ferruccio Zanchi Lata secured 10th and 15th place finishes, but continues to chase the form he displayed earlier in the season. With four rounds remaining, the team looks ahead with determination to Netherlands, Turkiye, China, and Australia.
