Eetu took home 5th place this year's Clash of Nations in Pro Stock
Disqualifying ended Eetu's night at Kalix
Ups and downs in Kalix. Having 1-2-4 results in heat races gave a good gatepick in to the semi. Wasn't lucky enough there so I had to make my way from the back. One contact pass cost me spot to move on when other rider's clutch got broken of the impact. Result from the night: Disqualified.
This year's Clash of Nations is done and I didn't avoid bad luck this time either. Day started with a heat race victory, which gave me straight spot to the final. Small mistake there cost me plenty of time. Brake wasn't warm enough and I accidently took false start so I got forced to back row with a dead engine. After being dead last I make my way to 5th when final ran out of laps. Disappointed to myself right now but I really had good time !

Miserable starts took away Eetu's Nordic Championship medal dreams
Yesterday was a big disappointment for me. I was looking forward to be on the box but two dead last starts and third one ended up that my own sled ran over me kept me away from the good results. Moto finishes were 4-4-6 that gave 5th overall.
