After Lommel we had the 7th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Latvia at the technical light sandy circuit of Kegums. With the Latvian Grand Prix we had a four-week stint of races before we head into a three week break ahead of the Turkish double-header.
The Latvian Gp was very difficult for our factory Beta rider. Jeremy didn’t found the right feeling on the new Beta 450 RX and closed time practice in 23rd position.
After a very bad start in the first race (28th in first lap) he could end the race in 18th place. Some bad luck in the second race… He must give up the race when he was in 9th position, so he only brings 3 points from Latvia, and end 22th overall, and is now 13th in de World Championship standings.
Now we got 3 weeks off for we head to Russia.
