Perfect season for Joakim Ljunggren in the Swedish Enduro Championship
7 out of 7 race victories for Joakim in the 2010 SEC!
Joakim Ljunggren remains unbeaten in Sweden in SM2 class as well as overall for the third consecutive season, ever since he started racing the new Husaberg FE 450 model in 2008. All together Joakim has now won 24 Swedish Enduro Championship races in a row.

The final round of the 2010 SEC was held this last weekend in Vimmerby, the hometown of world famous Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren. Just one week before the final round of the 2010 EWC, having already secured the SM2 and overall title, Joakim didn't take any risks in this race, yet won again although by a smaller margin than usual. Nevertheless he won 9 out of 12 special tests and was never at risk of ending his impressive winning streak.

After a short celebration it was already time for Joakim to leave for France to prepare for the final round of the EWC in Noiretable.

In JSM2 Martin Sundin (FE 450) and Linus Fasth (TE 250) made it a double podium finish for Husaberg with Martin winning his class and Linus finishing in 3rd.
