In the second round of the EDRS Pro Nordic Motorcycle Championship in Alastaro, Finland, last weekend, Kalle Lyr\u00e9n, VEIDEC Racing, put down an ET of 6.98 in the qualifying rounds of the Pro Stock Motorcycle category, his fastest run ever in Europe. Unfortunately, the eliminations were cancelled due to rain, but with the win in the opening round in Tierp, Kalle has a massive championship lead ahead of the two last rounds in Gardemoen and Tierp after the summer break.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201dThere are two races left and we will keep on doing what we\u00b4re doing,\u201d says Kalle Lyr\u00e9n. \u201dUnfortunately we only got the points for qualifying in Alastaro but we are in the lead and we just have to focus on getting the bike to work as it should.\u201d Going below the seven second mark in Europe has been a long standing target for Kalle and he finally made it in Alastaro after three qualifying runs at 7.04, 7.01, 7.02.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe have been going after a sub-seven second run in Europe for a long time, but everything has to be perfect in order to go that fast. We have found harmony in the chassis, the engine and the driver. It\u2019s not one big thing, it\u2019s a lot of small things that have come together.\u201d Kalle attributes a lot of the success to his American tour this winter. \u201dWe really learned how to work on the bike, to learn the causes and effects of what we were doing. That gave us the continuity needed and that\u2019s the big difference compared to last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kalle now has his sights set on another target, the fastest ET ever recorded in Europe, 6.95.\u00a0\u201dIt won\u2019t happen at Gardermoen, the next race. The track is new and there will probably not be enough grip, that\u00b4s a race where we will just have to manage the situation to the best of our ability, but come Tierp and the finals\u2026 That will be a great opportunity and there will be another couple of fast bikes there to push me even further. We will definitely go for a sub 6.95 there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next stop in the racing calendar for Kalle Lyr\u00e9n is Gardermoen in Norway, August 5-7, and just three weeks later, Tierp is the host of the finale, August 25-28.<\/p>\n
