SWE-CX-champ.
Back home after a super weekend. Yesterday I won the Swedish National title and today I won the 8th round of the national series.
The Nationals in Kumla was crazy cold and wet. We raced in about two degrees and a mix of mud, water and snow made the course tricky. I followed my plan from start and went full gas from the start. I managed to get a gap of about 10 sec together with Magnus Darvell, Team Kalas. I kept the pace high in the front and attacked Magnus about halfway trough the race, and got a small gap. He tried to close it but crashed hard and I was alone in the fron with about 30sec to the group behind. I cruised to take the win. SUPER!!!

Today we rode one hell of a muddy race in Söderköping. It was by far the worst mudrace I have ever done. We drove around on a grass field and I guess we had an avrage speed of about 10kms/h. Crazy!
I was in the lead from the start together with Jens Westergren, Falu CK. He tried to attack me with one lap to go but I bridged up to him again and went full gas to solo the last lap. My 4th win in the series and I am still in the leader jersey.
Now a few days at home before next round on saturday. The race is in the same town as one of the biggest bikeshows in Scandinavia, which is also this weekend. Jönköping, here we come!
