Two weeks previously the South African had been forced to withdraw from racing at the previous round in Germany and he inevitably approached practice for the GP at Uddevalla, close to the Norwegian frontier, with a degree of reserve, having only been able to risk minimal training possibilities since the previous race. Easing his way back through Saturday qualification Tyla quickly cut through the pack from his lowly starting position to hold sixteenth after the opening lap of the first GP moto and maintain his advances to finish twelfth. Another rugged ride in race two saw him advance from eighteenth to twelfth and he has now advanced to fourteenth in the series standings.
 
Tyla Rattray: “Obviously this weekend didn’t start so great on Saturday with some crashes, but it is what it is, that’s part of the sport. I did my best today and got a twelfth position in each moto so I'm quite happy as I was not sure what I could do with my back injury. I still have a lot of pain, the muscles are still a little bit tender, I just have to work hard on it and see week after week how it’s going. I’m happy that I could ride again here, now we’ve one week more now before Latvia and I hope it will be even better. I practiced just a little bit before coming here, just taking it very easy; my first day of training I was scared as the feeling was not good when I returned home after Teutschenthal. I will keep working hard this week and later in the season; I will announce that I will stop racing at the end of the season and I want to end my career strong with good results.”
