Press: Aruba It Ducati.Heavy overnight rain left the Kymi-Ring circuit sodden and energy-sapping, with deep ruts and demanding conditions testing rider endurance and machine setup.

Race one saw a solid start from both riders, but early jostling dropped Seewer to 10th and Guadagnini to 5th. As the race unfolded, the pair ran closely together mid-pack, with Seewer ultimately finishing 11th and Guadagnini just behind in 13th.Race two brought another strong launch from Seewer aboard the #91 Desmo450 MX, running inside the top five early on before slipping to 10th at the chequered flag. Guadagnini, caught in first-turn traffic, was forced to battle from outside the top 15, climbing back to a commendable 12th by race end. The results secured 10th overall for Seewer and 12th for Guadagnini.
