On Sunday 7^th May during the second MXGP race at the Latvian MXGP Tim Gajser crashed out in the second race.

Following the accident, he was checked out by the medical staff at the track and then flew home to undergo further checks by his doctor at home in Slovenia.

From the examination, we are pleased to say that he has not sustained any injuries from the crash other than bruising which is still very sore.

Gajser is now back in Slovenia where he is resting and recovering and he has confirmed that he will be back to race in Germany in two weeks.

(KEGUMS) Latvia, 09 May 2017 - Over the weekend a press conference was held at the MXGP of Latvia where Youthstream Vice-president David Luongo, 2017 Junior Motocross World Championship Organizer Lauri Roosiorg and 2017 Junior Motocross World Championship Press Officer Margus Kiiver were on stage in order to present the 2017 Edition of the Junior Motocross World Championship to both international and Latvian national media.

With a venue that is 6 km from the city of Tartu, Estonia and very close to Latvia the 2017 Junior Motocross World Championship, which will be held on July the 30th is destined for success. The local Organizer, Mr. Roosiorg, has done an excellent job with the development of the Lange motocenter since its opening in 2012. The goal of ‘Lange’ is to host more international title events in the future. 

David Luongo, Vice President and Head of Operations for Youthstream: “Youthstream is very happy to have the Junior Motocross World Championship at this new venue. The Organizer has been working a lot on the track and in fact it is very well designed. Many riders will be attending this event not only from the Baltic countries but from all over the world so I’ll invite everybody to go there.”

Lauri Roosiorg, 2017 Junior Motocross World Championship main Organizer: “The Junior Motocross World Championship in Estonia, in Lange motocenter is a big thing for Estonian motorsport. It has been a good cooperation between us, the promoter Youthstream, and the Estonian Motorcycling Federation. It shows the strength of Lange motocenter and we have already put in a great effort to organize a great event for both the competitors and spectators. It is a big honor and responsibility to host the young riders from more then 30 countries.”

Margus Kiiver, 2017 Junior Motocross World Championship press officer: “The track of the Lange motocenter is very challenging and perfect for the Junior Motocross World Championship 2017. Motocross is very popular in Estonia and our riders have proven themselves at the international level starting with Tanel Leok who is also a Junior Motocross World Champion. We’re expecting fans, families, spectators and riders from all over the worlds and I suggest to take some free time to discover Estonia before or after the competition in Lange motocenter. It is definitely worth it.”

3 former Junior Motocross World Champions also attended the conference where they stressed how important this event was to their career, Tanel Leok, Pauls Jonass, and EMX250 rider and 2016 125cc Junior World Champion Jago Geerts.

Estonian MXGP rider Tanel Leok, a two time Junior World Champion from 2000 and 2001, added: “The Junior Motocross World Championship is like a dream. You can really achieve something after winning this Championship. I wish to give a big thanks to Lauri who makes it all happen. It’s fantastic to have such an event in Estonia.”

Pauls Jonass, the MX2 points leader from Latvia won in 2011 and 2013, “The Junior Motocross World Championship is a one day championship so you need to give your best and I did. For me it was really important to win it… I have never seen the track but I heard it is one of the best tracks in the area. I think it’s going to be a great event especially because the Estonian fans are really fantastic”

(KEGUMS) Latvia, 7 May 2017 - The first results in Latvia came from the EMX250 and EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing championships. New Zealander Josiah Natzke and Frenchman Brian Strubhart Moreau were the 2 crowned winners both of them for the first time in 2017 season.

Hitachi KTM UK’s Josiah Natzke took control of the first race of the 3rd round early leading every lap, creating a gap, and then cruising to a comfortable race win. Race 2 started out front but wisely settled for second to claim the overall. During today's Press Conference he stated: “I got the holeshot in Race 1 and I had a nice gap with Jago behind me, then he went down which created a nice comfortable lead and I really don’t know what happened, I was just able to grow the lead out each lap, it was the perfect race. It’s a pretty great feeling.”

Finishing behind Natzke was the Italian Morgan Lesiardo aboard his #44 KTM. Lesiardo took second in the first race after making several passes. Then in Race 2 he would both start and finish in 3rd. The combined results gave him the 2nd overall but more importantly the points lead and the red plate.

Sahkar KTM’s Jago Geerts was battling up front in race one but eventually finished in 5th. The night to think over what could have been fueled Geerts into winning Race 2 were he passed race one and overall winner Natzke.

F&H Racing’s Ruben Fernandez was 2nd the majority of Race 1 until being passed by Lesiardo. His 3-7 results placed him 4th overall.

The last of the top 5 was Carglass Honda Racing’s Jed Beaton who rode very well in Race 2 on his way to 4th after his 8th in race one.

Last race’s winner Miro Sihvonen remains second in the championship after missing this weekend’s race due to an injury.

MXGP of Latvia

(KEGUMS) Latvia, 7 May 2017 - The second day of the MXGP of Latvia roared to life with the start of the points paying races today. The MXGP of Latvia in Kegums will be forever etched into the minds of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Thomas Kjer Olsen as each recorded their first career overall wins in their respective classes. Meanwhile Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli and local hero Pauls Jonass will go to the MXGP of Germany in 2 weeks time holding the Red Plate.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings had a weekend of first, first in Saturday’s Qualifying Race, first in Race 1, and first in Race 2, which when combined gave him his first career overall victory in the premier MXGP class. Herlings literally could not have had better results, from the fastest in each practice to the last checkered flag he dominated. Herlings in the press conference said, “This is the cherry on the cake, I’m very happy being up here! I felt good all weekend and I’m always fast on this track, we’ve won here a couple times now.”

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli will leave Latvia with new addition to his KTM, the red plate. Cairoli’s consistent ability to charge toward the front, after not the best of starts, is proving crucial in the competitive MXGP championship. While Cairoli may not have had the weekend he was looking for second overall and the points lead is nothing but impressive. Cairoli in the press conference said, “I’m ok, I’m not satisfied with my result…but it is good for the championship. I would fight for the win every weekend but I am happy with the weekend as a whole.”

Team HRC’s Evgeny Bobryshev returned to the podium this weekend with a 3-4 for 3rd overall in front of several Russian fans who made the trip. Bobryshev has been looking like he has podium speed lately but he has faded in the later stages of racing. He explained in the press conference, “In Valkenswaard I had some health problems and the week before Kegums I was recovering. Overall the result is good, I’m just looking forward to getting my health and physical fitness back.” Bobryshev now looks to the future and continuing to improve during the week off.

Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Clement Desalle had a spectacular Race 1 where he grabbed the FOX Holeshot and he lost out only to the unstoppable #84. Desalle was also passed by Bobryshev in race one but the Belgian showed some fight and returned the favor only one lap later. In race 2 he finished 5th for 4th overall.

Last GP’s winner, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Gautier Paulin put together a top 5 finish after placing 7th in both races. Paulin did fall in race 2 but will most likely be disappointed with the result of the weekend.

Team HRC’s Tim Gajser came into the weekend with the points lead and battled from the back of the pack in Race 1 going from 36th up to 14th. In race 2 Gajser was running second before a mistake took him out of the race. The 14th and DNF has taken Gajser out the points lead he has worked so hard to achieve. Gajser was evaluated by medical staff onsite, he is reportedly unscathed and in good spirits.

Suzuki World MXGP’s Arminas Jasikonis has been impressive lately and is noticeably improving. The Lithuanian rider took his first Fox Holeshot in MXGP Race 2 today then he led the first 4 laps. Jasikonis finished a strong 3rd in Race 2 and finished 10th overall.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Thomas Kjer Olsen was on a mission this weekend. Olsen started the GP by winning the Qualifying Race and Race 1 in an impressive display. Race 2 was more of a challenge as Olsen started in 8th place and with Pauls Jonass out front he knew he needed 2nd to claim the overall a feat he accomplished. Olsen in the press conference said, “I worked my way up through the pack and I’m pretty happy with my riding, I just stayed consistent all moto. It was so tough out there so I was trying to make no mistakes and ride smooth. I’m so happy with how things turned out. Last year I won here in the European Championship, it is pretty crazy that I win the GP this year.”

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass grew his points lead once again this weekend. In race one Jonass looked as if he was going to finish 2nd but on the last lap he was passed by the #91 Suzuki. In race 2 the determination of Jonass to win in front of his home fans was evident as he charged throughout. Jonass went 3-1 for second overall and in the press conference said, “My second race was really good…I just wanted to stay on 2 wheels and make no mistakes this weekend and I accomplished that.”

HSF Logistics Motorsport’s Calvin Vlaanderen nabbed the final spot on the overall podium with his 5-4 finishes. Vlaanderen made a pass on during the last lap which was for the podium. Vlaanderen in the press conference stated, “I can’t really explain the feeling, it is so nice. Actually since I crossed the finish line I can’t remember the podium it has all just been a blur for me. It’s been an unbelievable feeling getting my first podium.”

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado Garcia just missed the podium as he was the rider which Vlaanderen passed on the final lap of Race 2. Prado took the FOX Holeshot in both MX2 races and he lead each briefly before falling back. Prado scored the same points as Vlaanderen but his 4-5 put him 4th overall.

The final spot among the top 5 overall belongs to Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Conrad Mewse. Mewse has really started to turn his season around after struggling to score any points in the first three rounds of the championship to now a top five overall with a 3rd in Race 2.

Suzuki World MX2’s Jeremy Seewer had a gritty performance in Race 1 after falling while trying to catch Jonass, he somehow regrouped and charged up to the #41’s back wheel again. Seewer was going inside to outside trying to find a way past Jonass and finally did on the last lap with only 2 corners remaining. However in Race 2 Seewer slid out in the first turn and then crashed again not long after causing his bike to become unrideable.

LRT’s Julien Lieber is another rider who crashed in race 2 while he was running second. Even though Lieber’s crash was quite spectacular he managed to collect himself quickly and still finish in 8th for a 7th overall.
