Description

Sweden’s Mattias Ekstrom secured his second win of the 2020 season at the NESTE World RX of Riga-Latvia, round six of the FIA World Rallycross Championship.
Ekstrom achieved the 12th victory of his career by leading all 12 laps of the semi-final and final on Sunday afternoon at the Bikerneiki Sport Complex, Ekstrom took a maximum points haul in Riga to close the gap to World RX Drivers’ Championship leader Johan Kristoffersson, from Sweden.
Kristoffersson won semi-final two to join Ekstrom on the front row of the final, but was unable to better Ekstrom's pace by anything more than a few hundredths of a second at any point during the encounter.
Larsson claimed his first World RX podium since the opening round of the 2016 campaign in Portugal, the remaining places had Hansen in fourth followed by Gronholm fifth with Kevin Hansen finishing sixth.
