Semenuk proves his point in Finland cameo

Ten hours transatlantic made for something of a bleary-eyed transit through Helsinki, but when Brandon Semenuk woke, there was no doubting where he was. Good morning Jyväskylä.

You never forget your first trip to Finland. It’s the sauna in the corner of your hotel room, the midnight sun, pickled herring for breakfast, road signs to Lahti and mile after mile of road-side lupins.

But for a driver, it’s the first time you fly Finnish airspace. A jump is a jump is a jump, but when you send it in Suomi it’s always just that bit more special.

Subaru’s three-time American champ is in town for something different. He’s testing ahead of his competitive debut in Finland.
