After the the last MXGP in Latvia, we had a four weeks summer break before the 8th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Turkey. Last year we had no Turkish MXGP due Covid 19, in 2018 Afyon made its debut on the FIM calendar.
Jeremy didn’t find the right feeling to set a good time in practice on his factory Beta 450 RX. On the new track he ended in 17th position.
Two bad starts, very hot and a track where passing was very difficult, because the one line track. Despite all this “The Jerre” fought very hard and ended the races in a 15th and 16th place, and a 17th overal in the MXGP Turkey.
On wednesday we will have the second GP here !!!
Jeremy van Horebeek; “Bad starts and altitude made it not easy yesterday, but we try again in 2 days ! Speed and fitness where O, but the results just don’t show the effort ! P15 and P16 for thé moto’s ! Thanks @betamotor1905 @sdm_corse_official for the support”
