Swedish star Freddie Lindgren cannot wait for the FIM Fogo British SGP in Cardiff on Saturday after getting his World Championship bogey track out the way.

Fast Freddie left the Italian Grand Prix disconsolate after managing just five points and missing out on the semis last Saturday.

But he is looking forward to the tracks ahead of him. Lindgren has reached the rostrum in Cardiff and Vojens, which hosts the FIM Dansk Metal Nordic SGP on September 22. He also races his Swedish home meetings at Scandinavian SGP venue Malilla.

Lindgren is seventh in the World Championship on 77 points, putting him on course to reach the top eight for the first time in his career.

And the Orebro-born man is keen to keep climbing as he salivates at the prospect of a good run of tracks.

He said: “With the shale they’ve got for the indoor tracks, I feel a lot more confident going into Cardiff. The crowd is going to give me a boost and I’m looking forward to that.

“Terenzano is the worst track is me. We’re over it now and I feel there are some good tracks coming up – Cardiff, Malilla and Vojens. I feel pretty confident that I’m going to be in some more finals.”

Reflecting on another disappointing night at the Motoclub Olimpia, he said: “I went there for a lot more points, but I can’t crack this track.

“I don’t know why – I’ve been here a couple of times now. It’s the same story all the time. I can’t get out the start and I’m just slow.”
