Point of view

MICHAL SIKORA

FIM Europe President

Dear Readers,

We are approaching a less active period for all the motorcycle sports in Europe. The majority of championships have already finished, and we know most of the 2024 Champions. In many competitions, the fight for the titles was lasting till the last heats or even laps – like in Motocross or Speedway.

Finally, we were back on track with important events like Motocross of European Nations, Women’s Motocross of European Nations and Motoball European Championship. We are just waiting to finish some disciplines like Road Racing or Enduro Championship, which will conclude in November. As always we had a chance to

observe the talented European riders, who will become future world Champions playing major roles in all global competitions.

In this issue, you have condensed all the important events we saw in the last three months. This edition of our Magazine is as always at this time of year fully packed with activities in our Continental Union thanks to the great commitment of our Federations and Organizers.

I hope that reading our magazine will be an interesting experience and a reminder of fantastic events.

Enjoy!

Editorial

DALILA AGRATI

FIM Europe Press Officer

We are getting closer to the end of another season rich with events and races.

Once more, it has been an amazing year, with fights and challenges. Thank you to all the FIM Europe members, partners and promoters, that gave and are still giving their best for a season full of excitement.

Some champions had already been crowned, while some others had to wait a bit more to take the European title. The European Championships are an important experience for a rider: it’s a crucial formation for the jump to the World level. The job of the FIM Europe in organizing events, championships and

cups is fundamental for the steps of a rider. Lotte Van Drunen well knows this and I had the pleasure of having a oneto-one with her. The brand-new WMX World Champion had a masterpiece European season in 2023, ruling the EMX Women's European Championship from the very beginning to the end, with a sensational result of 300 full points. I wanted to go deeper in her career, her experiences with us and her dreams. Don’t miss the focus!

As of today, we are going towards the end of 2024. It has been a pleasure to live another incredible year with all of you. Thank you to everybody for your precious collaboration!

Remembering Ejgil Solkær

It is with deep sadness that FIM Europe announces the passing of Mr Ejgil Solkær.

Active member of the Danish Federation (DMUDanmarks Motor Union), he has been part of the Road Racing Commission from 1999, serving as Chairman from 2013 to 2018. In 2020 FIM Europe awarded him as an Honorary Member.

He worked with passion and professionalism, creating strong relations in the FIM Europe. The entire FIM Europe family extends its condolences to his family, friends and the DMU at this difficult time.

Istanbul successfully delivered the 4th edition of the Moto Tour Assistant Training Course

The Honda Safety Institute in Istanbul, Turkey, was the perfect venue to host the 4th edition of the FIM Europe Moto Tour Assistant Training Course.

Strongly supported by the Touring Commission and its Chairman Panagiotis Kalaitzis, is an important project for the FIM Europe, which also works for Touring Motorcycling.

After theoretical training both for on-road and off-road riding provided by Panagiotis and FIM Europe Touring Commission Member Jukka Lainkari, all the attendees warmed up for motorcycle practice training.

The program foresaw: warm-up, motorcycle safety checks, agility tests, cornering and engine brake, low-speed maneuvering, balance, braking, and counter-steer. The Training Centre at the Honda Safety Institute provided the motor-

cycles and all the necessary safety riding gear.

On the third and last day of training, the official test on the road was scheduled. All the trainees had the occasion to test their skills on a route of 230 km on secondary roads through the city of Istanbul, towns, and villages. At the end of the Training Course, all trainees had a great improvement in their riding skills.

Once more the Moto Tour Assistant Training Course had enthusiastic feedback.

Diploma awards went to Alexandros Stylianidis, Dimitrios Stylianidis, Stelios Kazaklis, Andrea Psoma, Konstantinos Nikolaidis, Ferarolis Stamatios, Linas Peciukaitis, Anestis Evgenidis, Andrius Sikorskis, Ernestas Vaitkevicius, Cem Kaplan, Deniz Kucukyilmaz.

Panagiotis Kalaitzis, Chairman of the FIM Europe Touring Commission

“This year’s T/As training course was a significant improvement over the previous years as it expanded over three days with the addition of the “on the road experience”. This was a 230 km role play and evaluation ride to the Black Sea. I want to thank HONDA Istanbul for the availability, support and providing the motorcycles for all the participants”.

DALILA AGRATI FIM Europe Press Officer

An extraordinary season has culminated in a historic achievement for Lotte van Drunen, who clinched her first WMX World Championship title at just 17 years old in Türkiye. This remarkable victory marks a defining moment in the young Dutch rider’s career. Van Drunen showcased incredible skill and determination throughout the season, consistently performing at the highest level and overcoming tough competition. Her triumph in Türkiye crowns a breakthrough season where she faced off against the world's best.

But her way to success started many years ago and passed through the European Championship.

Lotte van Drunen has long been named as a “rising star” because she has always raced above the level that her age, or even gender, would otherwise place her.

Hailing from the South Holland city of Gorinchem, 80 km south of Amsterdam, Lotte has raced against male competition for most of her Motocross life.

Lotte started her European career in 2018 participating in the EMX 65 Championship - North West zone. This was her real launching season, during which she demonstrated a girl can fight against boys, as she competed against young talented riders. Her best results in the series are one win, one second position, one third and one overall win (Esbjerg). Second in the standings, in that season arrives her first international success, with the victory in the EMX 65 qualifiers against

current EMX 250 rider Bradley Meisters and finishing 10th in her first EMX 65 Finals.

In 2019 she took part in the EMX 65 Championship - North West zone, finishing in P2 with two race victories, six second positions, one third, one sixth (as a worst seasonal result). She also collected two overall wins (Arnhem, Lommel) and finished sixth in the EMX 65 Final in Loket, proving that she could deal with hard pack terrain as well as her native sand.

Season 2020 saw the dramatic influence of Covid and most of the Championships could not run.

In 2021, Lotte moved to the EMX 85 Championship - North West zone and won the series with two wins, two second places, one sixth and one 15th, also achieving one overall win in Kaplice. She also was the top qualifier from the EMX 85 North West group, taking third overall, ahead of current EMX125 points leader Gyan Doensen, in the Sardegna Final.

In 2022, after jumping to the EMX 125 European Championship, Lotte turned 15 in August 2022 and immediately signed up to race the WMX finale in Türkiye with two seventh places on a 125cc bike.

2023

the year of the consecration.

Her season in the EMX

Women's European Championship

is kind of perfect.

1. How was your passion for Motocross born?

“I started riding when I was 4 years old: when my brother got Dutch Champion I wanted the same and fell in love with the sport even more!”.

2. Is there a rider you have taken as a reference over the years? Do you have an idol?

“I have never really looked up to anyone specific, but I always love watching the MXGP guys”.

3. As FIM Europe Press Officer, I've been following your career for years. You have always been among the best riders, but let me say that season 2023, your last one in the European Championship, was nothing short of perfect. How do you see your experience in the European Championship?

“The experience in the European Championships gave me the possibility to start my adventure at a higher level.

It’s an important experience because it’s the middle step in a rider’s career.

The first one is the National level, the second is the European and finally, you can arrive at the World level. In the European Championships, I started to compare myself and fight with riders from other countries. After the first years, in 2023 I had no competition in the EMX Women's European Championship, and this means that I grew up a lot. I had a lot of fun racing in new countries far away from home”.

4. Your fondest memory over these years?

“I made a lot of friends while racing and traveling in new countries. Camping together at the EMX in Poland, Lithuania, and Slovakia was fun! Then last year, next to becoming a World Champion I loved my experience in the USA. I had never ridden a Yamaha before and just had two days to test the bike and won the Mini O’s Supercross and Motocross with good starts, bad starts, and crashing. So that was something special to me”.

5. What does it mean for you to make it to the World Championship?

“Getting into the WMX gives me a good look at my future. Now I’m a World Champion already, and my goal of racing full time in MX2 is only getting closer”.

6. Do you think the experience in the European Championship was important in your path to the World Championship?

“The experience in the EMX Women's European Championship was too easy for me, as I was the fastest by far. I think racing in the EMX 125 series has helped me in coming into the WMX because those boys really pushed me”.

7. What path would you recommend to girls like you, who want to race in the motocross?

“I think the European Championships are a good starting point for girls who don’t have much experience in racing and traveling a lot on the high level. My main goal has always been to arrive at the WMX, so it was important for me to train as much as possible and fill up the racing calendar.

Something very important for girls wanting to do the same as me is to never compare to other girls but to boys. In this way, you will always have something to work on”.

8. Did you find a higher level in the World Championships than in the European? Was the fight harder this year or last year?

“The European Championship is important as the first step in training and fighting against riders from other countries.

Then when you arrive at the World level is another story, as you have to battle with riders coming from all over the world”.

9. What are the main difficulties you had this year?

“I had big problems with my starts and mud races. Let me say: when you have a bad start in the mud, it’s impossible to have a good race!”.

10. How important is the transition from a European Championship to a World Championship debut?

“Racing in the European Championship is a very good experience before entering the WMX to get a good feeling of how competitive girls are”.

Rivera and Sowa victorious at Brno

ROUND

Brno, Czech Republic #03

05th- 07th July

The third round of the SSP 300 Women's European Championship concluded at the Brno Circuit after a weekend of high-octane action.

The race weekend got underway with two free practice sessions on Friday, in which Natalia Resel Rivera set the fastest time (2’21”245). She was followed by Polish rider Patrycja Sowa and Italian Josephine Bruno. Rounding out the top five but almost a second behind were Denise Dal Zotto and Silvia Comincioli.

Saturday morning brought the two qualifying sessions and Race 1.

During the morning’s first session, Rivera proved to be the fastest on track (2’21”471) and in qualifying 2 none of the front group was able to improve further, with the starting positions confirmed and Rivera therefore in pole position.

Race 1

After a scorching few minutes on the grid in very high temperatures, at the start was Sowa who got away very well from P3, immediately moving into the lead. But Rivera wasted no time in fighting back. There was very little her rivals could do as the Spaniard once again broke away and built a solid lead. The battle for second and third continued behind her. Sowa found herself fifth, at the back of the chasing group due to a technical problem, but she was ultimately able to make up ground and cross the line third, while Bruno finished with a solid second. The top five was rounded out by Arianna Barale and Dal Zotto.

Race 2

In heavy rain conditions Sowa moved straight into first through the initial corners and ruled the race, showing real determination and building an 18-second lead over the chasing group. With a strong pace, Comincioli and Bruno battled hard for P2. Barbera and Dal Zotto completed the top five. Tough race for championship leader Rivera, who finished seventh.

Sowa makes the double at Grobnik

ROUND

09th- 11th August

One month after the round in the Czech Republic, the SSP 300 Women's European Championship got back on track for another exciting race weekend. The fourth round of the season took place at Automotodrom Grobnik, Croatia, in a weekend full of action and challenges.

Race 1

In very high temperatures, Patrycja Sowa had a great start from P3 taking the lead, but Natalia Resel Rivera and pole-women Josephine Bruno wasted no time in fighting back. After six laps of fight and overtaking, a technical problem forced Bruno to retire. The Spanish-Polish battle continued, but it was Sowa who won ahead of Rivera. Third position for Arianna Barale at the end of an intense fight with Denise Dal Zotto and Beatrice Barbera.

Race 2

Once more, Sowa made a lightning start moving to the front and taking the lead. Again Bruno and Rivera were quick to fight back. A three-way battle ensued, with Sowa first under the chequered flag ahead of Bruno and championship leader Rivera. A well-deserved fourth position for Dal Zotto ahead of Barbera after a close-fought duel. Tough day for Barale, just sixth.

ROUND

28th- 29th September

Imola, Italy

Tthe SSP 300 Women's European Championship geared up for the season finale at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, which is one of Italy’s most technical and prestigious circuits.

The fight for the title was fierce as women arrived with the standings still open. Leader since the very first round in Misano, Spanish rider Natalia Rivera secured the 2024 title with four wins and three podiums.

Race 1

Natalia Rivera won the first race. Starting from the pole, she had to fight off the attack from rival Josephine Bruno, who was able to get ahead after getting off the line fast. Bruno had a strong race with a fast pace, but not enough to catch and overtake Rivera, who crossed as first the finishing line under the chequered flag. The fight among the central group was almost as close as in Saturday’s qualifying, with Denise Dal Zotto fourth, followed by Patrycja Sowa and Beatrice Barbera.

Race 2

Josephine Bruno won the second race in the final round of the SSP 300 Women's European Championship. When the lights went out, the young Italian immediately stood out, making a lightning start that allowed her to take an early lead ahead of Spaniard Natalia Rivera, who started from pole position. The two riders battled for the entire ten-lap race, with some incredible overtaking. The pace was extremely fast and it was Bruno who eventually crossed the line first. This meant that the Championship leader had to settle for second place, but with the points scored in the process, Natalia secured the 2024 title. The third place went to Nicole Cicillini, who achieved an unexpected podium finish as Denise Dal Zotto crashed just a few meters from the finish line. Out of the podium championship runner-up Patrycja Sowa.

ROUND 10th- 11th August

Grobnik, Croatia #02

The Automotodrom Grobnik welcomed also the second round of the European Handy Bridgestone Cup.

Race 1

Strong domination of the Czech rider Martin Horky (Yamaha R1) followed by Emiliano Malagoli (BMW S1000RR) and Lorenzo Picasso, who raced this round with the second bike of Malagoli. A great gesture of fair play. In fact, during the practice, Picasso had a bad crash with significant damage to the bike.

The 600 class saw the win of Austrian Lorenz Jacob (Yamaha R6 - Austria) ahead of Italian rider Remo Marinato (Yamaha R6).

In the Lesser Impaired category Massimo Bacci won the 1000 class and Antonio Montoya the 600 class.

Another win for Lorenz ahead of Marinato in the 600 class. Same story for the Lesser Impaired category, with Bacci first in the 1000 class and Montoya in the 600 class.

Mugello crowns the 2024 Champions

31st August - 01st September Mugello, Italy

In 2014 the first event of the European Handy Bridgestone Cup was organized at the Mugello Circuit, Italy. Since then, the series has grown from an Italian series to a FIM Europe Cup.

The development has been driven by the dedication and passion of Di.Di. Diversamente Disabili Onlus, the first association in Italy dedicated to bringing people with disabilities closer to the world of motorcycles. Through the driving schools, they lay the foundation for disabled riders to gain new confidence and participate again in races.

Ten years after the series celebrated this special anniversary right in Tuscany, which was the perfect frame to host the final races of the season, at the presence of representatives from the main sponsors BMW Motorrad Italia, Bridgestone Emea and FMI President Giovanni Copioli, as well as representatives from national associations.

Race 1

In very hot weather conditions, typical of the Tuscan summertime, favorite rider Martin Horky won ahead of Emiliano Malagoli and Lorenzo Picasso. The Czech rider set the fastest lap time in Q2 (2’02’’728), but was so close to the limit that he crashed out of the qualification giving the pole to Malagoli. This did not prevent him from fully recovering from the crash and taking a convincing victory.

In the 600 class, there was a wider spread between the contestants with the Austrian Jakob Lorenz winning ahead of Remo Marinato.

In the Lesser Impaired category Massimo Bacci won the 1000 class and Antonio Montoya the 600 class.

Race 2

Malagoli came off to a good start, but on lap 4 Horky made a swift pass and from then on no one could hold him back. Double win for the Czech rider, who took the European title, ahead of Malagoli and former champion Picasso.

Double win in the 600 class too, with the triumph of Lorenz ahead of Marinato. Thanks to six wins in a row, the Austrian took the title.

In the Lasser Impaired category, Antonio Montoya crashed out, while Bacci won again the 1000 class. ROUND

MotorLand Aragon hosted the fifth round

ROUND

15th September

A hotly contested Round 5 in Jerez sees the title race in the Moto2 European Championship, ETC and Stock open up in anticipation of Aragon.

The Moto2™ European Championship saw a delighted Daniel Muñoz (Preicanos Racing Team) move up to third in the standings and place himself very much in contention for the title, just 17 points behind Roberto Garcia (Fantic Cardoso Racing).

Both races in the European Talent Cup were also fiercely disputed, with Carlos Cano emerging victorious in Race 1 and Race 2 to seize the initiative in the battle for the ETC crown. The Spaniard is now 25 points clear of his closest rival, Marco Morelli (MLav Racing).

The last of the day’s action was the Stock™ European Championship race, another encounter that went right down to the wire. Mario Mayor (Yamaha GV Macrobonsai Racing) claimed a first-ever win in the class, extending his lead over teammate Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Yamaha GV Macrobonsai Racing) in the Championship standings.

Jerez, Spain

Moto2

In Moto2™ ECh, Alberto Ferrandez (Finetwork Team) battled to a season-best second place despite a longlap penalty issued for irresponsible riding, with Mattia Casadei (Team Ciatti – Boscoscuro) wrapping up the podium places. The Italian narrows the gap in the standings with Roberto Garcia (Fantic Cardoso Racing) to just two points, after the latter crashed out of the lead in front of his home fans.

ETC

David Gonzalez (AC Racing Team) battled unceasingly with Carlos Cano in the ETC Race 1 but was unable to get the better of his compatriot, and Valentin Perrone (Frando Racing VHC Team) completed the podium. Meanwhile, Marco Morelli finished P6 after surging through the pack following his P28 start to the race. The drama continued into the ETC Race 2, with Valentin Perrone crossing the line first by the slightest of margins only to find himself having to drop a position for irresponsible riding, the young Argentine having to conform with second place. David Gonzalez meanwhile, made it four podiums in a row with another impressive ride from one of the most consistent performers of the current campaign.

Stock

The final race of the day was in Stock ECh, and the drama began right from the off with a restart following a red flag after an incident at Turn 1 on Lap 2. Joining Mayor on the podium were Dino Iozzo (IUM Motorsports), who managed a smile after the race despite being overtaken at the final corner, and Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Yamaha GV Macrobonsai Racing), who secured a best-ever P3 finish at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto to complete the podium after a difficult start to the weekend.

Race 1

As soon as the lights went out, a group of eight riders engaged in a great battle at the front, with the lead changing hands numerous times.

The R7 riders provided some spectacular racing to keep the fans in the grandstands and those watching live on YouTube entertained during the nine-lap race, but with three laps to go, it was Lehmann, a former WorldSSP300 rider, who made a break at the front of the field, timing it to perfection.

Behind him evolved an incredibly tight fight for the podium as the chasing group battled amongst themselves, with the following six riders crossing the line separated by less than a second. Conte held on to second in the sprint to the finish, just 0.061s ahead of former FIM R3 bLU cRU World Cup rider Peristeras in third.

Race 2

After a superb late victory charge during Friday’s Race 1, 18-year-old Lehman once again pounced at precisely the right moment to secure his second win of the weekend and ensure he would be the overall winner of the Yamaha R7 European Cup SuperFinale.

Once more, the 5.777km Circuit Paul Ricard layout, which saw the R7 riders riding the full track with the chicane halfway down the Mistral straight, provided the perfect setting for some dramatic racing action thanks to its fast, flowing nature.

Starting from pole, Lehmann got a superb jump off the line to lead into the first corner and over the opening laps, there was an intense battle at the front, with a leading group of 14 separated by less than 2.8s and constantly swapping places, as the slipstream down the Mistral straight allowed for any breakaways at the front to be quickly countered.

In the early stages, Manuel Margarito, Eric Molina, and Devis Bergamini looked to be in control at the front, with Lehmann dropping down as low as ninth at one point. As the race progressed, Peristeras and Folger manoeuvred themselves into podium contention, and slowly but surely, Lehmann started to pick off the riders in front. The German rider hit the front, with his compatriot Folger in hot pursuit and Peristeras chasing hard,just before the red flag came out on lap seven due to a crash.

Having completed two-thirds race distance, that meant the results were based on the riders’ positions as they crossed the line at the end of lap six. This saw Lehmann awarded the victory by 0.387s ahead of last year's winner Folger and Peristeras in third, just 0.736s off the win, with the Greek former R3 World Cup rider repeating his result from Race 1.

In the Yamaha R7 European Cup SuperFinale, the points from both races are combined to give the overall standings. After winning both races, Lehmann was crowned the winner with 50 points, while Folger, who finished fourth in Race 1, was second overall with 33 points, and Peristeras was third with 32 points, as the overall results matched the podium from Race 2.

Riding together for Europe

Two of Europe's leading motorcycle organizations, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), representing riders and the sport, and the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (ACEM), representing the industry, hosted a joint event in Brussels on September 11th, 2024. The event, held in collaboration with leaders from European Union institutions, aimed to showcase a shared goal of improving mobility.

Michele Colaninno, President of ACEM and CEO of Piaggio, and Jorge Viegas, President of FIM, along with key representatives from the European Commission and Parliament, Magda Kopczyńska and Bernd Lange, delivered keynote speeches. They emphasized the contribution of two-wheeled vehicles in achieving the EU's mobility goals for roads and cities.

Ahead of upcoming policy and legislative discussions, ACEM and FIM presented their vision focused on the well-being of users, the industry, and society at large. Their roadmap for the motorcycle sector is built on five key pillars, included in the Motorcycling Manifesto: road safety, sustainability, industrial competitiveness, research and innovation, and tourism and motorsports.

The social part of the evening, hosted by Reuters correspondent Julia Payne, featured double World Superbike Champion James Toseland as a special guest. Toseland spoke about the values of motorsports and how it provi-

des a unique opportunity for public institutions and manufacturers to engage with European citizens. He stressed that collaboration between legislators, politicians, and businesses is essential to turning the goal of “Riding together for Europe” into a reality.

Both organization presidents praised the event's success in showcasing their mobility solutions to EU institutions.

Jorge Viegas, President of FIM, said, “For 120 years, the FIM has been a leader in advancing and improving motorcycling. It was great to show members of the European Parliament and Commission our work last night. It was also crucial to highlight that motorcycle sport is not just a tool for marketing or research, but a significant cultural and economic activity that supports tourism, hospitality, and rural economies. We hope politicians recognize the importance of protecting and fostering this activity in the future.”

The MXGP in Loket hosted the Final

20th - 21st July Loket, Czech Republic

The MXGP of Czech Republic was the stage for the thrilling finals of the EMX65, EMX85. Over two intense days, Europe's fastest riders competed for gold, silver, and bronze medals.

EMX85

In the opening race of EMX85 it was the Italian David Cracco who took the advantage right from the start with by holding a nice tight line on the inside but it was then a drag race on the long first straight that saw another Italian Edoardo Riganti taking the lead in front of Neo Nindelt and Cracco. However, it only took a couple of turns for the Frenchman Sleny Goyer to place himself in 3rd position behind Nindelt.

Goyer quickly attacked Nindelt and moved up to 2nd in the opening lap with Cracco coming in his wake to go 3rd while Nindelt made some mistake and moved down the rank.

It became soon too hard to contain the riders behind for leader Riganti with Goyer making a decisive move on the inside on lap 2 to take the lead.

There was nothing stopping Goyer who had the best pace of the race as he pulled away quickjly with the lead. Cracco then found his way past his countryman Riganti on lap 4 of 12 to go 2nd.

The top 3 after that will not move until the end with the riders

Behind them, it was the Austrian Ricardo Bauer who following an average start made a solid comeback from 13th on lap 1 to 4th in the end after making impressive successive passes on every lap between lap 6 and 10, such as the Estonian Lucas Leok to get the 4th place. Leok finished 7th. Léo Dis-Ferdinand settled for 5th with some good moves, especially on Jorge Salvador who finished 8th after battling for the 4th position mid-way through the race.

In Race 2, Patrick Cirulis got the best start but got overtaken quickly by Riganti with Salvator up to 2nd. Howe -

ver, Jordi Alba rushed down to moved them past and take the lead early on. However, Salvador who was really much in the mix fell and lost many positions to find himself at the end of the pack. Goyeard on his side crashed in the opening lap and had a mountain to climb but managed to climb up to 16th at the turn of the first lap.

With all this, Riganti in 2nd position on lap 3 was the virtual EMX85 champion. The battles al throughout the rank were tough and Leok could find himself benefitting from mistakes of Aston Alias and Dis-Fenard in front of him to move up to 6th in one move on lap 4.

Meanwhile Jekabs Hudolejs passed Riganti for 2nd with Alba still leading the race and showing good pace. The fastest on the track at that time was Leok who moved up to 5th and being the only rider in the 2:02s. Meanwhile Goyer was riding superbly and with great determination as the Frenchman went up to 9th on lap 4.

On lap 5, the Latvian Hudolejs started top push for the lead and put pressure on Alba for the race win but the young Spanish showed up and stay very resistant to the attack from the Latvian.

With two laps to go Goyer was up to 7th and near the overall. He then passed a direct contender for the win, Riganti as well as an excellent Pau Caudet Ruiz to go to 5th and clinch the EMX85 Championship title.

Alba made a great run after a missed first race on his part and finished at an encouraging 2nd place with another rider who had a solid race, Andrea Uccellini who finished 3rd for 5th overall. It was tough one for Leok who rode superbly to finish 4th for 4th overall not far of the podium. Meanwhile, Hudolejs was up for anything in this race and showed a fantastic pace to win the race and go 11-1 for a surprising but deserved 2nd overall. For Riganti, the second race didn’t go as planned with a 7th finish but the Italian still managed to get on the podium and his bronze medal in the end.

EMX65

In race 1, a multi-rider collision happen in the first turn but it was the Croatian Roko Ivandic who was the fastest of the pack to get the holeshot and the lead with authority with Luca Nierychlo and Theo Kolts who quickly placed themselves in good position in 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Ivandic and Nierychlo pulled away from the pack and began a thrilling fight for the lead. The German Nierychlo showed his wheel a couple of times and Ivandic had to respond to stay on top. Ivandic managed to defend superbly these attacks and flew to victory although he nearly lost control of his bike on the last lap but this was all forgotten when he passed the checkered flag first.

The Estonian Kolts settled his pace comfortably and rode smart to keep the 3rd place throughout the whole race and have a shot at the mighty victory in race 2. He finished in front of his compatriot Erki Raudnagel in 4th. The performance of the race was for the FIM 65cc World Cup Winner Kash Van Hammond who found himself 23rd on the turn of lap 1 of 8 to finish impressively in 5th place and keeping his chance for an overall podium.

Just as in Race 1, the number 243 of Ivandic got the holeshot and took the lead with confidence. Behind him were Elia Eder, Kolts and Timoteï Cez all well placed to fight for the top places. Unfortunately for Cez he fell down and lost hope of a better finish.

Cez who was riding smart and was well place but crashed out of 4th place on lap 2 and finished 11th in the end. Meanwhile, Kolts began to find his pace and pressure Eder for 2nd. It was a done deal for the Estonian on lap 4 of 8. Kolts moved up 2nd and kept his position until the end to get a great 2-2 for 2nd overall. Behind him Elder stayed strong until the end to finish 3rd for 6th overall.

Following his good first race, Nierychlo made an impressive comeback after a poor start in 19th on lap 1. The German powered through the rank in style to move up to 4th in the end. This prowess propelled him on the podium.

Ivandic in the end dominate the race from start to finish to win it in style with a perfect 1-1 and the gold medal, synonymous of the EMX65 European Title!

Patrick Turrini wins in Italy while Harry Walker grabs the 2024 title

ROUND

21st - 22nd September

The Italian Crossodromo La Colla was the perfect set for the last round of the 2024 EMX Quad European Championship.

Race 1

For the penultimate time this year, the gates slammed to the ground and, despite Marcu s Thomsen momentarily taking the race lead, it was the German, Manfred Zienecker, who made the best launch to put himself into the lead of the race and, with that, take the holeshot ahead of the chasing pack. Champion-elect, Walker, put himself in prime position inside the top-5 positions with Mclernon, Thomsen and reigning champion Turrini. Former Sidecarcross World championship rider, and now-turned Quadcross rider, Julian Veldmann found himself in 6th position after the opening lap.

Walker found his way through on Northern Irishman, Mark Mclernon, to promote himself into second position and, barring a mechanical issue with his machine, would be set to clinch the championship with one race remaining if he was to complete the event in this placing.

During the midpoint of the race, Walker seemed to have the speed and was closing down the gap between himself and Zienecker, with Mark Mclernon within 5 seconds of the double-British champion. While this unfolded, 2023 champion Turrini did not seem to have the momentum to remain with the trio at the head of the field, and could almost feel the chances of retaining his title slipping through his fingers. The fight for 6th position raged on, with Veldman and Nicolo Roagna locked together on the circuit for the 15-point scoring position.

The 2-lap board was prepared and shown to race leader Manfred Zienecker who, by this point, has retaliated to the challenge of Harry Walker, and increased his leading margin to 4 seconds, with Mclernon and Turrini occupying a, relatively lonely, 3rd and 4th position – evidently, time was running out for the now outgoing European champion. Marcus Thomsen, likewise, was in a comfortable 5th position with Veldman slightly increasing his advantage over Nicolo Roagna. Such was the pace of the leading 7, that Laurynas Mikalauskas was a further 40 seconds behind Roagna in 8th position.

The chequered flag beckoned the arrival of Manfred Zienecker who would take yet another victory in the 2024 campaign, but it was to be a day that dreams are made of for the man from Reading in the UK, Harry Walker, who took the chequered flag in 2nd position and, with this result, claimed the title of being crowned 2024 European Quadcross Champion – an accomplishment he, very proudly, will carry for the rest of his career. Despite the obvious disappointment of not retaining the title, Patrick Turrini goes into the second race of the day with a 2-point lead over Manfred Zienecker, who himself is only 5 points ahead of Mark Mclernon.

La Colla, Italy

#05

Race 2

With the sun still beating down, and the shadows starting to grow, the gates dropped once more for the 10th and final time of the year, and it was to be Karlis Neija who took the initial advantage from Mark Mclernon, however, a decisive move from Mclernon would see him promoted into the lead of the race by the end of the opening lap. Newly-crowned champion, Harry Walker, sat proudly in 3rd position ahead of earlier race winner, Manfred Zienecker, who had high hopes of snatching the vice-champion position in the final standings, from the clutches of Patrick Turrni who, after lap one, sat in 6th. Unfortunately, after completing only one lap, Zienecker would retire from the event and his hopes of climbing up to second in the European standings were cut short prematurely – a great shame for the friendly German. This retirement would see Karlis Neija and Julian Veldman shuffled up the timing screen into the top five placings at the halfway point in this final encounter. Patrick Turrini who, despite losing out on the championship, was doing himself absolutely no disgrace by swiftly deposing Harry Walker and long-time race leader Mark Mclernon to round off his tough season, by taking the lead of the race with only 5 minutes remaining.

Once more, for the last time of the 2024 season, the 2-lap board beckoned the outgoing champion Patrick Turrini who, despite the misfortunes of Heerde and Gdansk, was incredibly keen to complete his season on a high with one more victory. Mark Mclernon would complete the race in a strong 2nd position ahead of new champion and great friend, Harry Walker, to complete the podium.

With his showing in La Colla and the retirement of Zienecker, Mclernon would move into 3rd position in the championship standings, only 12 points clear of the German competitor.

MXoEN and WMXoEN: Italy and Spain triumphant in Romania

21st - 22nd September

Ciolpani,

Romania

In near-perfect conditions at the TCS Racing Park near Bucharest in Romania, the Motocross of European Nations and the Women’s Motocross of European Nations saw a great day of action in all classes!

With a brilliant team effort, on top of individual brilliance for their 85cc rider Andrea Uccellini, Team Italy took the Motocross of European Nations trophy for a record fifth time, with just a three-point winning margin ahead of the reigning champions, Team France!

In the Women’s Motocross of Nations, reigning Champions Team Spain defended their crown thanks to the sheer speed of Daniela Guillen, operating on her favourite hard-pack and working past Team Germany flyer Larissa Papenmeier on each occasion. She was backed up by solid performances from Jana Sanchez, as Germany took second place on a tie-break with Team France!

The racing took place after an opening ceremony which saw speeches from several dignitaries, namely Andrea Barbieri, the FIM Europe MX Commission Chairman, Patricia Maskarova the MxoEN Infront General Manager, as well as TCS Racing Park representative Ciprian Popescu and Nicoleta Olariu from the Romanian Motorcycling Federation. Patricia handed Mr Olariu a commemorative plate as a reward for the good organisation of the event, where every rider’s comments towards the circuit and organisation was full of enthusiasm.

EMX125/EMX250

As with Saturday’s Qualification Race, the battle came down to a clash between Italian Francesco Bellei and French #1 plate holder Alexis Fueri. The French spearhead took the Holeshot but with a determined move, Bellei was able to take the lead on lap two and never looked back, except maybe to check on how his teammate Nicolo Alvisi was doing! The answer was very well, backing up Bellei with a great third place to instantly give Italy an early advantage. Team Slovenia were in the mix with

their Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations MX2 rider Jaka Peklaj taking fourth and their 125cc rider Lukas Osek claiming seventh.

Team Spain took an early dent to their hopes with a big crash for 250 rider Elias Escandell, although Salvador Perez claimed sixth for them on his 125. Tom Brunet kept France in the hunt with fifth position.

Fueri fired to another holeshot in race two, as Bellei slipped off to cost him a chance of challenging. Fueri held the lead to the chequered flag as Bellei recovered to take second, and French 125 pilot Brunet claimed fifth to make it a solid race for the defending Champions. Alvisi also crashed but still finished sixth for Italy ahead of the battered Escandell, while Perez made up for his countryman’s difficult race by claiming fourth, the top 125cc rider.

Perez was the top 125 man on the day ahead of Alvisi and Brunet, but Fueri claimed the 250cc individual win over Bellei and Peklaj, whose teammate was only 16th in race two. Overall, the Italians won for a one-point advantage over the French team from these races.

EMX85

In the 85cc class for 11- to 14-year-old riders, the first race holeshot went to Spain’s Jorge Salvador, but Italian sensation Uccellini stayed just behind him all race, before pouncing on the final lap to take the lead and the race victory by less than a second! Amazingly, the three leading teams all took seven points from the race, as David Cracco took sixth for Italy, Pau Caudet took fifth for Spain, and French pairing Kenzo Ferez and Leo Diss Fenard packed together in third and fourth!

Fenard claimed the holeshot in race two ahead of Salvador, but Uccellini was unstoppable and waltzed to the race win, as Cracco improved to fifth place to make the difference as Caudet backed up Salvador to put the Spaniards in third and fourth, but Ferez could only get sixth while Diss Fenard’s second position brought France a score two points worse in the race than Italy!

As the Italians celebrated their first win since 2019, France just held back Spain for second overall, with Poland claiming fourth overall ahead of home team Romania 1.

WMXoEN

WMX veteran Larissa Papenmeier took a stunning holeshot in both races but was unable to hold back the unstoppable force that is twice WMX Vice-Champion Daniela Guillen, who powered to the race win by over ten seconds in both races.

Despite Guillen’s teammate Jana Sanchez suffering a crash in race one, the reigning Champions were able to keep their title due to Sanchez being able to keep Alessandra Massury of Germany behind her, and the French duo of April Franzoni and Jesse Joineau never being able to break the dominance of Guillen and Papenmeier at the front. The Germans claimed second, as they last did in 2019, and France’s third position was their first WMXoN podium for ten years, since the days of multiple champ Livia Lancelot leading their effort!

Team Netherlands wins ahead of Italy and Estonia

28th - 29th September

Loket, Czech Republic

The Quadcross of European Nations rounds out the Quadcross season and, for the second time in 3 years, it heads back to the Czech Republic to the iconic Loket circuit, on the outskirts of Karlovy Vary. The 2024 challenge was raced combined to the Quadcross of Nations and saw an epic battle between fierce riders with Team Netherlands victorious ahead of Team Italy and Estonia.

Race 1 – Group A + B

With 30 competitors taking to the gate, this was almost guaranteed to be actioned-packed from the start and indeed it was, with an unfortunate incident at the first turn resulting in Mark Mclernon of Team Ireland, parting company with his Yamaha. Mastronardi and Dafydd Davies, among others, were caught in the dramatics, and this would lend itself to Team USA’s Brandon Hoag and Joel Hetrick taking the holeshot. It would not be long before Hetrick found a way through on his teammate to lead the way.

In the early stages of this opening event, Harry Walker could be found languishing down in 12th position, but he would soon improve his positioning by overcoming the likes of Marcus Thomsen for Team Denmark, Jan Vlaeymans for Team Netherlands and Reinis Bicans throughout the course of the race. At this time, Hetrick and Hoag were pulling away by a significant margin to stamp their authority on the race, with Kevin Saar in 3rd place.

At the rear of the field, Mastronardi and Davies were carving their way through in their attempts to limit the damage cau-

sed by the first-turn dramas. Likewise, Christopher Tvaraen would close the deficit between himself and his arch-rival in previous European Championship campaigns, Kevin Saar. This fight would rage on through much of the mid-point of the event with Tvaraen finally finding a way through as we came into the closing stages – 4th place would have been a solid result or Saar, but shockingly he was forced to retire from the event with only 3 laps remaining.

The battle for fourth position was really starting to heat up, with chasing hard after van Grinsven, and defending his place from the Frenchman, Sylvain Petit. At the conclusion of the event, the chequered flag beckoned the arrival of Joel Hetrick who cruised to a comfortable race victory, ahead of Brandon Hoag to give Team USA a 1-2 finish in the opening encounter. Christopher Tvaraen would take third position ahead of Mike van Grinsven on the circuit but, frustratingly, failing the noise test after the race would see Mike van Grinsven handed a 5-position deduction, and this would drop him down to 9th place.

Race 2 – Group B + C

The charge into the first turn was, on the face of things, less chaotic than the first however, Bryce Ford admitted in his post-race interview that he nearly spun out, but he kept it all under control to take the holeshot ahead of Patrick Turrini and Karl Robin Rillo. With clear track in front, Ford soon put on a dominant display with which he has won many AMA ATV titles and would stretch out his lead to a gap that nobody could overcome. His teammate, Brandon Hoag, would be swallowed up by the pack and completed the first lap outside of the top-six positions – clearly, work to do throughout the following laps.

Turrini and Rillo were swapping blows and were soon caught up by Hoag, who had found his way through on Ondarcuhu, Mogensen, Neija and Veldman, and it would not be long before Hoag swiftly made his way into 2nd place with an outstanding “2-for-1” move on both Rillo and Turrini. Again, like his teammate, with the

clear track laid out before him, he would stretch his advantage over 3rd place to over 30 seconds by the cheqeured flag. In the midfield, an incredible fight was happening for 6th position, Dafydd Davies, who was in a much better position now than earlier in the day, defending bravely ahead of Neija, Hellebust and

Veldman. This fight would play out for the following handful of laps and, in the closing stages of the race, it would be both Neija and Veldman, as well as hard-charging Dutchman Joe Maessen, who would promote themselves into 7th, 8th, and 9th positions respectively.

With Rillo making a decisive move on Turrini, he opened out an ever-increasing margin over the former European champion, and could not be beaten for 3rd place, but absolutely no-one once again, could intercept the unstoppable force of Team USA, as they went 1-2 again, to give themselves a perfect 6 points going into the final race later this afternoon.

Race 3 – Group A + C

The gates dropped and it was Joel Hetrick who took the initial advantage ahead of Team Italy’s Patrick Turrini, who was looking mightily strong coming into this final race. Unfortunately, due to the incident mentioned in race 1, Mark Mclernon would not take to the gate for this final event and, as well as Mark, Manfred Zienecker and Adam Tucek would also not take part in the final race of the weekend.

Joel Hetrick set about repeating his success in the earlier race, however, disaster would strike as a mechanical failure would see him be forced to retire on lap 5, and with this, all pressure was firmly applied to the shoulders of Bryce Ford who, somewhat surprisingly, did not make the best of starts and was languishing in 12th position at the completion of lap 2, but would soon carve his way through the field, and was locked in battle with both Team Estonia riders, Kevin Saar and Karl Robin Rillo. Likewise for Team Great Britain, Harry Walker and Dafydd Davies had plenty of work laid out before them as they were both, at one point, found outside of the top 15 positions with 20 minutes remaining. They would soon be put to work and, by the halfway point, Harry was fighting for the top-10 placings, while Davies would slowly but surely work his way through the field to place himself inside the top 12.

As half-race distance rapidly approached, Bryce Ford found his way through on both Estonian competitors, and set about reducing the deficit that Turrini had opened with the track in-

front cleared by the retiring Joel Hetrick. An air of inevitability surrounded the fight for the race lead and, despite putting up his best defence, it would not stop the lone Team USA rider of Bryce Ford to take the race lead, of which he would not let go of by the chequered flag. A fantastic showing from Team Estonia would see them take the chequered flag in P3 and P4, with Rillo leading the way ahead of Saar and, as was the case earlier this afternoon, Sylvain Petit did not have an easy time as he simultaneously had to defend from Tarald Hellebust, as well as chasing hard after Mike van Grinsven.

28th - 29th September

Loket, Czech Republic

The Sidecarcross of European Nations fired up the weekend at the iconic Loket circuit, in the Czech Republic, in a weekend full of action together with the Quadcross of European Nations.

Race One (A+B) - A cracking start took Killian and Evan Prunier into an immediate lead which they were never to relinquish. The triple French Champions were on great form to round off the season. Marvin Vanluchene and Robbe de Veene slotted second up the hill, with Dan Foden/Josh Chamberlain alongside them. Foden moved ahead and Vanluchene spent a fair amount of effort closing the British crew down. He had to be careful because Koen Hermans/Ben van den Bogaart were making way up to the leaders from a slower start.

Koen admits he has not yet perfected the start technique with the new Mega engine. It was also another strong showing from the Normak/Kasesalu duo from Estonia, who proved difficult for them to pass. Once up to second place, Vanluchene settled and Hermans had then to contend with Foden. Twice he passed the British crew and twice they regained the position, once when Hermans got stuck in a rut behind them. Foden was able to get going quickly, but Hermans was not so lucky.

Tim Leferink was also making ground and looking threatening, as indeed were Tim Prummer and Jens Vincent. The German team had a good battle with Leferink and eventually

made the pass.

At the same time, Hermans had regained his composure and leapt past Vanluchene on one of the back jumps desperate to narrow the twenty-second deficit on race leaders Killian and Evan Prunier.

Going into the final lap, Prummer had closed on Foden, now in fourth place and made a serious downhill lunge to make the pass. There was heavy contact between the two outfits, resulting in strong words from the British crew. The result was a fourth place for Germany and a fifth for team GB. Prunier’s victory was extremely impressive, with team-mates Hamard/Hupon following them home out of the top ten in fourteenth place.

Race Two (B+C) – There were some big names in this one, so the start would once again be crucial. The opening race showed how difficult it was to overtake, and every position would count. Down went the gate and the charge up the hill was on. Gert Gordejev/Niki Debruyne again were electric out of the gate, with Brett Wilkinson/Joe Millard in hot pursuit. Sanders/Steegmans were as reliable as ever. Always in the mix, and they were at the sharper end this time.

In fourth were the Lielbardis brothers with teammates Rupeiks/Liepins around mid-pack at this point. Very soon Wilkinson was in front with the Lielbardis brothers very much on his case. The newly crowned runners-up in the World Championship had a devastating turn of speed and hassled Wilkinson

lap after lap. We were not to know, but on lay seven, the nut securing the main suspension pivot spindle on Wilkinson’s bike had broken, with the spindle then working its way out into the sidecar. Brett was obliged to keep it trapped with his left foot for the remainder of the race. Once the Latvians were past, they had opened a thirty-second lead by the flag. Sanders and Tim Leferink/Dion Rietman had a good scrap, with the Weinmann brothers right with them as the race unfolded. These three teams were all on the same piece of track at the flag. Also prominent was the performance of team France with Auvray/Lebreton, heading compatriots Hamard/Hupon to sixth and seventh after a brilliant display of team solidarity.

Meanwhile, early fast starters Gert Gordejev/Niki Debruyne kept it alive and brought it home in eighth place. Stuart Brown for team GB finished ninth to back up his earlier tenth.

Race Three (A+C) – This was another barnstorming race filled with star talent. New champion Vanluchene made no mistake from the gate but had two team GB outfits for company on the opening lap along with a very fast Koen Hermans. At this point of the competition, it was all very tight, with Gert van Werven having dropped out with engine troubles from the previous race.

He had made a rapid engine change and that proved crucial. The Prunier brothers were right up in the chase and looking strong, when a mistake by Killian took him off the bike and

into the ropes. They recovered to seventh behind their teammates Auvray/Lebreton.

Team Lielbardis, from being right at the front, also hit trouble when they had a problem with some deep stuff and dropped several places. It was hard to know where the next drama was coming from.

Dan Foden/Josh Chamberlain, along with Brett Wilkinson/Joe Millard were terrific throughout, keeping British hopes alive to the flag.

Tim Prummer was the one to spoil that particular dream as he nailed Foden on the final lap, adding a point to the British total in so doing. The German had a good weekend, and along with the Weinmann brothers and Adrian Peter/Joel Hoffmann did a respectable job for his country.

At the front though, Vanluchene was making no mistakes, and he and Hermans had a race-long battle once the Netherlands team members got close enough. That was where it ended, with these two teams way ahead and Brett Wilkinson/ Joe Millard completing the race podium in a fine showing for team GB.

MYLAPS Showcases Cutting-Edge MX Race Control Technology at Motorsportpark Gelderland Midden

MYLAPS looks back at a great day in Arnhem, the Netherlands, at Motorsportpark Gelderland Midden for the first-ever MYLAPS MX Partner Conference.

MYLAPS recently hosted over 30 motocross partners from across Europe, offering an exclusive look at the latest developments. The event was also a great platform to share knowledge and network with industry experts. MYLAPS gave an overview of the MX product portfolio including timing, Speedhive, and race control. MYLAPS was delighted to demo the Race Control solution for MX. With MX riders on the track, MYLAPS showcased the MX Panels and Race Control Manager software, demonstrating the automatic accident

detection system that alerts race control instantly when a rider stops unexpectedly, using electronic flagging to help prevent further accidents.

Race Control takes center stage

The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the live demonstration of the MYLAPS Race Control solution for Motocross. With riders on the track, attendees witnessed firsthand the power and precision of reliable MYLAPS technology:

 Full GPS tracking with Race Control Software

 Automatic Accident Detection

 Fully automatic electronic flagging using bright LED Panels

The system’s ability to instantly alert race control when a rider stops unex-

The MYLAPS MX Panel automatically showing a double yellow flag when a rider stops suddenly on the track

pectedly drew significant attention. This feature, coupled with electronic flagging, showcases MYLAPS’ commitment to enhancing safety in motocross events.

Instantly Spot Accidents

Motorsportpark Gelderland Midden, a technologically advanced racing facility, has significantly improved its ability to identify potential accidents with the help of the Race Control software’s automatic accident detection system.

The software utilizes tracking devices mounted on riders’ bikes to instantly recognize when a competitor comes to an unexpected stop. This feature has proven particularly crucial in highrisk areas such as landing zones after jumps or in blind corners. As frequently happens, a rider fell after a large jump and was at risk of being hit by oncoming riders. The system immediately de-

tected the stopped rider, offering the choice to race control to either manually respond in seconds, or have the system automatically set the flag by itself. This prevents serious multi-rider collisions.

Precise Rider Localization

The ability to pinpoint a stopped rider’s exact location on a track map using the race control software has revolutionized the emergency response protocol.

As everyone involved with Motocross knows, track marshals had to rely on visual cues and radio communications to locate accidents, often leading to confusion and delays. Now, when an incident occurs, race control can see the precise location on a digital track map. This feature allows tracks to optimize the positioning of their emergency crews and equipment, resulting in faster response times.

Automated Warning System

The LED light panels have significantly enhanced rider safety at tracks. These panels, strategically placed before jumps and in other critical areas, automatically display warning flags when an incident is detected. This feature has proven invaluable in preventing secondary accidents. In a recent race, a

rider fell on the landing of a large jump. The system immediately triggered yellow flag warnings on the LED panels approaching the jump, alerting the following riders to slow down and proceed with caution. Multiple riders later reported that these warnings allowed them to adjust their speed and trajectory, avoiding what could have been a serious pileup.

Improved Overall Safety

Perhaps the most significant benefit is the overall improvement in safety. The MYLAPS Race Control system has

demonstrated to riders, teams, spectators, and tracks that safety is taken seriously. This has led to increased confidence among participants. The track has seen a decrease in the severity of accidents since implementing the system, as the quick response times often prevent minor incidents from escalating.

Customized Exclusion Zones

The MYLAPS race control software has the ability to define custom exclusion zones. This feature has been particularly useful in the starting area, where riders naturally come to a stop before and after races. By designating this area as an exclusion zone, a track can eliminate false alarms that previously caused un-

necessary concern and distraction for race officials. Tracks can also apply this feature to the riders park, ensuring that the accident detection system focuses solely on active racing areas. This customization has greatly improved the system’s efficiency and reduced the likelihood of unnecessary alerts among the race control staff.

ROUND

Sipoo, Finland #03

17th-18th August

The Enduro European Championship was back in action with the third round in the charming city of Sipoo, in Finland, located about 30 km from the capital Helsinki, which hosted the series in 2022.

The event was organized by the renowned Sipoon Moottorikerho Motorcycle Club, which celebrated its 70th anniversary.

Over 100 riders, including leading names from the world scene such as Eero Remes, Roni Kytonen and Marko Tarkkala, challenged each other in a very high-level competitive context.

The race route foresaw three special tests: the Cross Test designed in the paddock area at the Sipoo Motocross Track, the Enduro -a technical route in the typical Finnish forest-, and the Extreme Test, on a hard and rocky terrain with natural obstacles.

Day 1

Finnish rider Rony Kytonen was back to the European Championship after five years and set the fastest time.

Despite a crash in the last special test which cost him precious seconds, Kytonen managed to take the overall victory on his home round, achieving the first step of the podium. Behind him, Anthony Geslin and Diego Haution, separated by just 10 seconds in a hard-fought challenge.

Rony Kytonen won the Overall and the E1 class too. Behind him two Italians: Davide Soreca and Davide Mei. In E2, the British Alex Walton won ahead of Eemil Pohjola

and Daniel Mundell after nine hard-fought special tests. Anthony Geslin ruled the E3 class ahead of Mattia Capuzzo and Robert Riedel.

The Junior 1 class saw an adrenaline-filled finale with Pyry Juupaluoma overtaking championship leader Killian Lunier in the last special test, taking advantage of a fall by the Frenchman. Tiitus Enjala finished third.

In Junior 2 ruled Diego Haution winning by 1’28’’ over Italian Riccardo Fabris, while Matyas Chlum took P3. Unlucky day for Matej Skuta: the championship leader finished last due to a problem with his bike during the Extreme Test.

In the Youth class, Riccardo Pasquato won a very close battle, beating Gabin Allemand by just 2 seconds. Juho Ahokas completed the podium, while Frenchman Matteo Arrieta missed the top three by just 4 seconds.

In the Senior class, the Italian Maurizio Micheluz achieved his fifth victory in a row. Second position for the Finns Marko Tarkkala and Mika Karma.

Tough day for the women, as the tough route and the demanding special tests put the ladies of the European Championship to the test. Zuzana Unger wins ahead of Viivi-Maria Makine and Mauricette Brisebard. Reigning champion Tanja Schlosser was out of the challenge after breaking her humerus in a crash.

Day 2

Roni Kytonen once again confirmed himself as the fastest rider on the Finnish ground. Second overall was Daniel Mundell and third Matej Skuta. Kytonen also took the E1 class victory ahead of championship leader Davide Soreca and Davide Mei.

ROUND

13th-14th July

Monteils, France

After the success of the first round in Italy at the end of May, Mini Enduro Cup was back to action for the second exciting round. The town of Monteils, in France, hosted the race thanks to the impeccable organization of the Motoclub des 2 Vallées.

More than 70 talented young riders competed on technical and exciting courses, demonstrating skill and passion for this discipline. Two special tests: one Cross Test of 1,5 km and one Enduro Test of about 2 minutes. The race loop was 20 km long and characterized by a series of climbs and descents, as well as rocky single tracks inside forests. The track included a single time control located near the paddock.

Day 1

In the 125 Mini class, the Frenchman Emerick Vergote took the victory ahead of Italian rider Gioele Scibilia by 21 seconds. Third on the podium was the French Ewen Forestier-Chiron, who finished the race just 11 seconds behind Scibilia. All-Italian challenge in the 50 Mini class with Davide Cabass and Nicolò Mancinelli fighting for victory throughout the day. At the end, Cabass won over Mancinelli by a minute behind.

An Italian story also in the Junior class. Exciting challenge between Cristian Marioli and Evan Moschetti, who fought for the final victory until the last special test. Marioli was the first to stop the clock and took the victory by less than two seconds over Moschetti. P3 for Duccio Giraldi.

In the Women 125 Mini category, France dominated the sce-

ne. Jean Satine took the victory over championship leader Charlene Boudon, who finished second. Pauline Nicon finished third.

Third consecutive victory for the young Lady Anika Dal Pezzo, who set the best time in the Women Junior. The Italian took the victory ahead of Desirée Carollo and Sofia Chermaz. The President of the French Federation Mr Sébastien Poirier did not miss the event, supporting the champions of the future.

Day 2

French rider Emerick Vergote won not only the Overall, but also the 125 Mini class. In this category, the Italian Pierpaolo Mosca finished second, followed by Gioele Scibilia.

In the 50 Mini, Davide Cabass achieved his fourth consecutive success, once again prevailing over Nicolò Mancinelli. The Junior class saw Cristian Marioli, Evan Moschetti and Duccio Giraldi, respectively first, second and third.

Charlene Boudon returned to the top step of the podium in the Women 125 Mini, winning ahead of Pauline Nicon and Athena Magliolo. The winner of day 1, Jean Satine, had to withdraw due to a crash in the first special test.

The battle in the Women Junior was exciting. Anika Dal Pezzo won the day by just 5 seconds over compatriot Sofia Chermaz. P3 for Michelle Sinigaglia.

German round crowns the 2024 champions

ROUND

10th-11th August

Meltewitz, Germany

Thrilling final round of the Mini Enduro Cup in the town of Meltewitz, Germany, with the participation of almost 100 young riders. After the exciting races held in Italy and France, in this last seasonal event young champions battled until the very last against time laps and three special tests (Extreme Test, Cross Test and Enduro Test) very-well prepared by SHC Meltewitz Moto Club.

Day 1

The young Charlene Boudon is the first champion of the 2024 edition. With one race day still to go, the French takes the title of the Women 125 category thanks to an outstanding win by just 10 seconds ahead of Polish rider Maja Kozlowska and German Lea Meier.

Sara Duplak wins the Women Junior ahead of Michelle Sinigaglia and Sofia Chermaz. P4 for the leader Anika Dal Pezzo. The Overall is ruled by Henry Strauss, who has a good feeling with the technical and demanding route. The young German wins both the Overall and the 125 Mini with over a minute on the Italian Matteo Giuliani. P3 for the championship leader Emerick Vergote.

Davide Cabass strengthens his leadership in the standing of the 50 Mini by winning the next to last race day ahead of two Italians: Nicolò Mancinelli and Niccolò Pratesi.

All-Italian podium also in the Junior with Cristian Marioli first, Evan Moschetti second and Duccio Giraldi third. The challenge for the title is still open!

Day 2

Double win for Strauss in the 125 Mini. Second position for Giuliani and third for Scibilia despite a very hard-fought day. Thanks to a P6 Vergote takes the title in the 125 Mini. Mancinelli wins the last race of the 50 Mini ahead of Pratesi and Cabass. Thrilling race for the young Italian rider, who managed to take the title despite a tough race with several technical problems.

Despite a double win in this last round, Marioli is unable to win the Junior title, which is an affair of Moschetti, constant in every day of competition.

With the title already in the pocket, Boudon raced this second day without pressure. The Frenchwoman ended with a good P3, behind Jean Satine, first, and Kozlowska, second. In the Women Junior double success for Duplak, while Dal Pezzo still doesn’t find the right feeling with the hard German ground. Despite the difficulties and a P5, the young Italian took home the gold medal.

Unstoppable Andrea Benvenuti wins in Poland

#03

ROUND

21st July

Słomczyn, Poland

For the first time, the SM Junior European Championship was hosted at Slomczyn track, in Poland, just 30 minutes away from Warsaw. The racetrack of the small Polish town was renewed to host the third round of the season. The off-road section underwent a major renovation to ensure a thrilling racing weekend.

Andrea Benvenuti (KTM Mtr Racing) made no mistakes conquering a double victory but had to battle it out with strong Nathan Terraneo (KTM), who did not make things easy. Third qualified was another Italian rider, Daniele Cornolti (GasGas), who stepped on the European Championship podium for the first time.

Race 1

At the start, Andrea Benvenuti (KTM Mtr Racing) could not make the best out of his pole position because Nathan Terraneo (KTM) made an early start. In the first laps, Benvenuti did not notice the penalty awarded to Terraneo and started a thrilling fight. Despite the penalty, the Swiss rider did not let his rival overtake him and fought for 11 laps. On the other hand, Benvenuti did not accept the idea of staying behind and in the final corners overtook his rival crossing the finish line in first position. In the first lap, Yevsevii Kovalyov (Husqvarna) was the victim of a crash and missed the fight for third place in favor of Daniele Cornolti (GasGas).

Race 2

At the start of the second moto Nathan Terraneo and Andrea Benvenuti had a contact in the first meters after the start. Terraneo stayed strong and took the lead, but Benvenuti without hesitation moved to first place in the second lap and the KTM rider kept an impressive rhythm

opening a solid gap which allowed him to manage the second part of the race in the best way eventually crossing the finish line and taking a solo victory, the third one of the season. Terraneo ended up with second place and Ukrainian Kovalyov was third qualified after a flawless Race 2 but this was not enough to step on the GP podium which went to fourth qualified Daniele Cornolti, thanks to the better result achieved in the first moto.

SM Junior Classification Top Ten

1. BENVENUTI Andrea (ITA, KTM) Pts. 50,000 (25+25); 2. TERRANEO Nathan (SUI, KTM) Pts. 44,000 (22+22); 3. CORNOLTI Daniele (ITA, GasGas) Pts. 38,000 (20+18); 4.

Benvenuti makes it in Germany

ROUND

17th - 18th August

The SM Junior European Championship stopped in Germany, in the city circuit of Sankt Wendel, for the fourth round of the season. The event took place at the same time of the national Championship attracting a large crowd which filled the natural grandstands along the track.

Despite two less-than-perfect starts, Andrea Benvenuti (KTM Mtr Racing) achieved another triumphant double victory. Second place went to wild card Valentin Durand (Honda) who qualified ahead of Nathan Terraneo (KTM).

Race 1

At the start of the first race Andrea Benvenuti (KTM MTR Racing) was caught unprepared in the first corner and had to make way for Valentin Durand (Honda) and Nathan Terraneo (KTM), but the pole man did not lose time and moved to the head of the race in the second lap setting an unbeatable race pace for all the other rivals. Benvenuti managed the second part of the race well thanks to the advantage over the other riders. Behind him, Durand and Terraneo were the authors of a beautiful battle, and the victory went to the rider on the Honda CRF150 4 strokes. Fourth place was taken by Ukrainian Yevsevii Kovalov (Husqvarana) who did not find the right feeling. Daniele Cornoldi made some mistakes in the first laps of the race and finished in eighth place.

Race 2

In the second race of the day Andrea Benvenuti could

Sankt Wendel, Germany

not make the best out of his pole position and was overtaken by Valentin Durand in the first corner, but the leadership of the Belgian rider only lasted for one single round as he was overtaken by Benvenuti in the corner before the off-road section. The rider’s race pace was phenomenal and allowed him to win with a solid margin. Valentin Durand ended up in second place and Nathan Terraneo stepped on the third step of the podium. The latter probably paid the price for mounting a front rain tyre but this did not pay off since he could not keep his rivals’ pace.

Thanks to this success Andrea Benvenuti confirmed himself as the strongest rider in the Junior category and strengthened his advantage in the Championship standings.

ROUND

08th September Cerghid, Romania

The SM Junior European Championship did a stop-over in Romania, in Cerghid, at the Transylvania Motor Ring which welcomed the paddock for the first time.

The Romanian race offered a turn of events in the morning warm-up. Undisputed standings leader Andrea Benvenuti (KTM Mtr Racing) was the victim of a crash that caused him a suspected fracture so he could not take part in the two races. Nathan Terraneo (KTM) and Yevsevii Kolavov (Husqvarna) shared the victories. The Ukrainian was crowned race winner and the new red plate holder of the Championship.

Race 1

Third qualified in the overall standings, Nathan Terraneo (KTM), was the author of a solid race. The Swiss rider pulled away at the start and took the lead in the first corner. Terraneo had the right race pace and opened a solid gap over second qualified, Ukrainian Yesvevii Kovalov (Husqvarna), who tried to keep the rhythm of the race leader but without succeeding. Nathan Terraneo won the first moto of the season and reduced the gap in the standings. Third place went to the Romanian rider, applauded by the crowd, Mark Luca Iovita (Husqvarna).

Race 2

took the lead of the race in the first corner, chased by Yesvevii Kovalov but the race leader could not repeat the same rhythm of Race 1 and leave behind his main rival. For several laps, Kovalov monitored Terraneo and eventually overtook him in the start main straight. The Ukrainian rider took a little advantage and was able to win the race. Third place went once again to home rider Mark Luca Iovita.

Thanks to both results Kovalov won the GP and moved to the head of the SM Junior standings with a 2-point advantage over Terraneo and Benvenuti. The latter did not take part in the race and is currently third qualified with 3 points to recover and one more race to face.

Santa Pod crowned the 2024 champions

#05

ROUND

05th - 08th September

Santa Pod, Great Britain

The championship has been close and competitive all season with no sure favorite for the crown, but in the end, the fireworks fizzled out and the last event revealed the Dragbike European Champions.

For the fifth and Final challenge of the Dragbike European Championship – the third in a row – the series move back where everything begun this season. For the second time this year Santa Pod Raceway, Great Britain, welcomed the show in front of a huge crowd that watched a race that will be remembered for a long time.

With the qualifying on Friday and Saturday in perfect weather conditions, on Sunday the heavy rain caused a four-hour delay to get the first runs began in late evening. Much to the delight of all people around it was a spectacular view to see the bikes going down the track with huge nitro header flames. It needs some courage to race in these conditions at speeds of 350 kph and some even over 400 kph.

The level of competition was phenomenal and the series has seldom seen so many heads-up runs where only the scoreboards could tell who was the winner or who lost it. Furthermore, not very often has the competition seen this number of runs that have been decided by holeshots – winning a run only by a better reaction time at the start light.

The winners of the Euro Finals have been nicely spread over the continent with a winner in TopFuelBike coming from Sweden, Rikard Gustafsson, a winner in SuperTwinBike coming from Denmark, Marcus Christiansen, a winner in ProStockBike from Germany, Jörg Lymant, a winner in SuperStreetBike from England, Jake Mechaell and last but not least a winner in JuniorDragBike from England, Hollie King.

In the occasion of this last event, FIM Europe 1st Deputy President and Chairman of the Sporting Council, Mr Manuel Marinheiro had the opportunity to crown the 2024 champions.

The 2024 titles went to:

– TopFuelBike – Rikard Gustafsson, SWE

– SuperTwinBike – Marcus Christiansen, DEN

– ProStockBike – Jörg Lymant, GER

– SuperStreetBike – Alan Morrison Jr., GBR

– JuniorDragBike Cup – Hollie King, GBR

This season will be remembered for a long time for the successful engagement of the public. A rough estimate shows some 25.000 people at Tierp 2 in Sweden, a record of 54.000 people in Hockenheim and some 35.000 people to the Final at Santa Pod.

Isola 2000 hosted the second round

#02

ROUND

27th - 28th July

Hosted by the fantastic facility at French Ski Resort of Isola 2000, the Trial European Championship riders knew Saturday and Sunday days of competition would provide a suitably tough challenge, with extremely testing conditions.

The third round of the season saw a total of 83 riders took the start for 2 laps of 8 km 12 challenging sections per day, which had been carefully planned by the organizers at a venue that has previously held the prestigious Trial de Nations and several World Championship GPs.

Whilst it was an impressive overall entry, the top European Championship Class only attracted 8 riders but the quality was indisputable. Local French rider Teo Colairo took a double win ahead of German rider Joschka Kraft, two times second. Third position for Polish Milosz Zynowski on Day 1 and for Rodney Bereiter on Day 2.

The Women’s Championship was an extremely close-fought affair. ON Saturday Czech rider Denisa Pechackova had a one-point victory over British Kaytlyn Adshead,

Isola 2000, France

with fellow Brit Alicia Robinson a further 2 points behind. On Sunday Adshead took the victory regaining the lead in the series ahead of Denisa Pechackova and Alicia Robinson.

Some very promising talent staged a great competition in the Youth Championship Class. The category produced a double success for French rider Pablo Echene. On Saturday he won ahead of Fabio Mazzola and Marco Laure, while on Sunday ahead of Patrick Larsen and Anton Carlsson.

The Junior Cup was even more closely contested with only one point covering the first three riders. Mirko Pedretti won the tiebreak ahead of Xurxo Neo, while Pawel Ryncarz finished one point behind. On Day 2 Ryncarz took victory ahead of Pedretti and Xurxo Neo Suarez.

The Over 40 Cup was won by legend Martin Kroustek, ruler on both Day 1 and Day 2 ahead of Italian riders Andrea Buschi and Paolo Brandani, second and third each.

Germany hosted an exciting third round

ROUND

03rd - 04th August

Round three of the Trial European Championship was perfectly organized in Großheubach, Germany, by MSC Großheubach, which has been organising international and national events since the beginning of the eighties.

Day1

In the European Championship class, home favourite rider Joschka Kraft took an early lead and kept it the whole first lap, but it was very close between the chasing group with Milosz Zyznowski, Téo Colairo, Rodney Bereiter and Paul Reumschüssel. Colairo had a very good second lap, but even if he gave his best he couldn’t reach the German rider, who won with an advantage of 4 marks. Third place for the Polish Zyznowski.

In the Women's Championship, the close battle continued. After the first lap, Denisa Pechacková was leading with only one mark ahead of Vivian Wachs and Alessia Bacchetta. The end of the challenge saw Pechacková and Bacchetta equal with 15 marks, but the Italian won thanks to more cleans. Great fight for third place too, with two riders with 22 marks. In the end, Theresa Angst took the third place ahead of Wachs. The leader before this third event, Kaytlyn Adshead, started well but two fives during her second lap ruined her chances to take the podium.

As in the previous round, Italian rider Mirko Pedretti ruled the Junior Cup ahead of the Polish Pawel Ryncarz and the Czech Jan-Christopher Balousek.

Promising talents of the Youth Championship Class put on a great show. Once more, success for the French Pablo Echene, who won ahead of Marco Laure from Ger-

Großheubach, Germany

many and Anton Carlson from Sweden.

Once again, the Over 40 Cup was ruled by legend Martin Kroustek ahead of Italian riders Paolo Brandani and Andrea Buschi, second and third.

International classes: Philipp Emonts won the 16-39, Kristina Blesvik the Women and Edio Poncia the Youth.

Day 2

Some rain during the night made sections slippery, especially the first 4 sections in the forest.

In the European Championship, Saturday’s winner Kraft was forced to withdraw due to a crash in section 2. Colairo took the occasion to show his talent. With a steady ride from the first lap, he kept his nerves under control and took the victory ahead of Polish star Zyznowski and home-rider Bereiter.

In the Women's Championship, Saturday’s winner Bacchetta didn’t start as good as in the previous day. On the second lap Pechacková put in an extra gear and made a fantastic lap, with only one single mark. Wachs finished second and Adshead third.

After three rounds the Czech rider is leading the standings, but Adshead can fight for the title.

The three leaders in Junior Cup Mirko Pedretti, Youth Championship Pablo Echene and over 40 Cup Martin Kroustek continued their victory processions with another win.

After the success of Day1, Pedretti won in the Junior Cup, Echene in the Youth Championship and Kroustek in the Over 40 Cup.

International classes: Emonts won the 16-39, Blesvik the Women and Scott Sander the Youth.

over Kacper Woryna, further solidifying his position at the top of the overall standings. The third series ended with Tom Brennan securing his first-ever victory in the SEC.

The Danish rider won after a run-off win against the Polish Oskar Paluch, with Adam Bubba Bednář from the Czech Republic completing the rostrum.

On a very hot, sunny day, dropped points made it a battle for some riders to reach the top eight and advance to the Final. For others, they were looking beyond that to reach those podium positions and lay down a marker before the final. This led to some fiercely contested heats of speedway.

William Drejer took the last qualification spot, scoring 8 points in three races. However, a crash in his fourth race saw him disqualified and taken to the hospital, missing his last ride. Ben Iken was the hosts' top finisher, on 7 points, losing out in a run-off for the reserve spot. But with the Final in Germany and one remaining spot helping open for a local rider, his chances could well not be over.
