RIKARD'S LAST RUN 🏁
Bittersweet it is as this photo I took from Rikard his last ever full 1/4 run against his good friend and FIM-E Top Fuel Bike racer Neil Midgley in the Final round on Monday evening on the 25th of May 2026 19:26 pm during the Main Event on Santa Pod Raceway.
Rikard won the event and finished this run with [email protected] Which seemed a bit slow as it sounds kind of strange but his High Performance over all this years kind of aspect us to see a 5.6 run again or even quicker and over 250Mph as he did many times before..That speed he made was incredible and went even over 260Mph!...
Never knowing that this will be his Last run....
He didn't know, I didn't know, nobody knew....
That makes it so hard and still it so hard to believe what happend only a few days later.
He lived a live that only few can have and gave it all!
Motorcycle Dragracing was his life and he achieved all that will be forever carved in our minds, It will be so strange without him on the racetracks. His dedicated team and the goals he still had.
I can write so much down about his achievements, but most of us know that allready.
I like to share this photo of Rikard his last ever run.
