To be #1. • How would you describe your race style? Nice & smooth. YAMAHA-SPECIFIC INFO: • What do you think of the race sled so far? I have been riding the FX Nytro in stock form preparing for this season. It is very impressive. • Why did you choose to ride a Yamaha this season? After 13 years riding Polaris I got the offer to join the Yamaha team and I saw this as a great opportunity to be part of a new chapter in snocross i.e. the 4-stroke conquest. • What do you think are the sled’s strengths? The engine. • What are your goals for the season? To win the Swedish National Championship and to be on the podium in every race. • Why are you a good fit for the FX Nytro? I think it’s good to be tall on this sled. • Describe the difference between a 2-stroke and a 4-stroke race sled: A 4-stroke has more torque through the whole powerband, compared to the 2-stroke.
