EMX125

FRAUENFELD (Switzerland) 25 August 2024 - The anticipation of the European rounds of EMX250 and the EMX125 presented by FMF Racing in Switzerland was palpable as the riders lined up on the track of Frauenfeld.

In EMX250, with only fifteen points separating the top three riders in the championship, every turn, jump and pass would be crucial in the battle for the title. The fight was on for the red plate Bud Racing Kawasaki’s Mathis Valin, Gabriel SS24 KTM’s Cas Valk second and Beddini GASGAS Factory Juniors’s Valerio Lata.

The tension was also in the EMX125 presented by FMF Racing, held at the Swiss circuit with the championship battle heating up and every position on the track becoming crucial with the Championship top 3 riders all able to become European Champion, red plate Noel Zanocz from Fantic Factory Racing EMX125, Racestore KTM Factory Rookies’s Nicolò Alvisi and Fantic Factory Racing EMX125’s Simone Mancini In the end it was Valerio Lata who came out victorious in EMX250 while it was Racestore KTM Factory Rookies’s Nicolò Alvisi who won his first overall in his rookie year in the EMX125 Presented by FMFM Racing.

In EX250 race 1, as the gates dropped, Valerio Lata executed a perfect start, sprinting ahead from the outside to squeeze the competition at the first turn. Alfio Samuele Pulivirenti from Max Bart Motorsport, and Cas Valk were close behind, but the championship leader, Bud Racing Kawasaki‘s Mathis Valin, found himself in trouble early on. A rough start saw him tip over after being squeezed at the first corner, dropping him down to the last places but getting up the order to 24th by the end of lap 2. VRT Yamaha Racing’s Ivano Van Erp also struggled, finding himself back in 19th on the first lap, though he quickly began clawing his way back, reaching 11th by lap 3.

While Lata continued to push ahead, creating a gap from Cas Valk, Benjamin Garib from Bud Racing Kawasaki made an impressive charge from the start, moving up to 3rd place by lap 2. Meanwhile, Valin was demonstrating his championship calibre with a remarkable recovery, moving up to 14th by lap 3 of 16.

The race began to take shape as Van Erp climbed to 8th place on lap 5, with Valin hot on his heels in 10th. Lata was in command at the front, maintaining a blistering pace and extending his lead to 6.5 seconds over Valk. Beddini GASGAS Factory Juniors’s Mads Fredsoe, showing excellent form, made a decisive move to pass Garib and secure 3rd place.

Lap 7 saw an exchange of fastest laps between Lata and Valk, both riders pushing their limits in pursuit of victory. Despite the fierce competition, Lata held his lead, but the battle for the championship continued to intensify. Valin, undeterred by his early setback, broke into the top 10 and eventually climbed to 9th place, bringing all three championship contenders—Valin, Valk, and Lata—within three points of each other.

Valin’s relentless drive was evident as he refused to settle, determined to push further up the field. By the time the race reached its climax, the positions had solidified. Lata crossed the finish line first, claiming his seventh win of the season. Valk finished strong in 2nd, while Van Erp secured 3rd.

Valin’s extraordinary comeback from 39th to 4th place was the highlight of the race, a performance that kept his championship hopes alive. Behind him, Fredsoe took 5th, followed by Garib in 6th and the Swiss Cat Moto Bauerschmidt Husqvarna’s Nico Greutmann in 7th.

This thrilling race has tightened the championship battle even further, with just nine points now separating the top three riders before the second race.

In race 2 Werner got the holeshot but Lata took the command after the second turn. Valin got a good start too finding himself in 3rd behind Werner and in front of his teammate Garib.

Valin knowing that every championship points will be crucial directly attacked the German and passed him on the outside to move up 2nd 4 seconds behind Lata. Valk had a bad start but was up already to … when he passed the opening lap.

Valin then showed a great pace to get back right on the back wheel of  the leader Lata eager to gain more points in the championship to keep the lead in the championship. Valin got stuck behind a backmarker and Lata was off the hook for a little while. However a lap later, it was Lata who got stuck behind another backmarkers with Vali speeding through on the outside and take the lead.

Meanwhile, Valk was moved up 6th in front of Van Erp and 18 seconds from Garib 5th. The Swiss Nico Greutmann was riding with a lot of control in 4th place on his own for a solid rider.

Another good start was needed because we had rain all through the night. There was dominoes going on through the first turn. Valk was buried outside of the top 20 but it was Max Werner who led the way from Lata and Valin.

Werner however couldn’t hold Lata behind him nor Valin in the opening lap and found himself 3rd with the top two battling for the race and the championship. However on lap 6 of 14, Lata got caught behind a backmarker and Valin went through to take the lead. Towards the end, Lata got faster and Valin had to stay focus in the very last laps to keep the advantage.

Werner would stay in 3rd all way through just in front of the Greutmann who performed well at home. Behind them, Valk eventually got himself up into sixth position that was going to be good enough for third overall.

Van Erp fell from seventh place with a lap to go to finish 19th. It was a great ride for Werner to come home in third following a tough first race. Finally on the final lap, running towards the finish line, 3.8 separated Valin from Lata. Valin winning the race, Latte with his first in race one and second in race two, picking up the overall victory.

Valin keeps his red plate onto the next one in Turkiye with Lata 11 points behind for an exciting last couple of rounds.

Valerio Lata: “Not the best second race. Yesterday, it was a perfect win with a good start. And today, good start, first position, but the track is so difficult and Valin passed me but I won the GP, so I'm happy. Second in the championship and yeah now we'll see you in the last round at Afyon. Thanks to everyone around me ”

The tension was high as the riders lined up for Race 1 of the 125 European Championship, held at the Swiss circuit of Frauenfeld. With the championship battle heating up and the Championship top 3 riders all able to become European Champion, every position on the track was crucial.

As the gates dropped, it was the home rider Ryan Oppliger who took the early lead, much to the delight of the Swiss crowd. Ofir Casey Tzemach was right on his tail, putting pressure on the leader. Meanwhile, Noel Zanocz from Fantic Factory Racing EMX125, the championship leader, made a strong start, quickly moving from fifth to third within the first few turns. However, other top contenders like Gyan Doensen (19th), Mancini (11th) found themselves struggling after poor starts, leaving them with significant work to do to climb back up the field. Other riders like Dani Heintink from Yamaha Europe EMX125 MJC, Racestore KTM Factory Rookies’s Nicolò Alvisi, Maximilian Ernecker from F4E GASGAS Junior Racing had a tough start too.

The battle at the front was intense, with Tzemach briefly taking the lead from Oppliger, only for the Swiss rider to snatch it back, spurred on by the cheers of his home fans. Unfortunately, the pressure took its toll on Oppliger as he made a mistake on lap 3, nearly going down. Zanocz seized the opportunity to move up into 2nd place, while Jayson Van Drunen, who was 4th, stalled his bike, allowing Perez to slip past him. Van Drunen finished 17th in the end.

As the race went on, Mancini, who had started poorly, began to find his rhythm, amazingly moving up from 9th to 5th in the course of one lap, ahead of Anthony Gaspari, who had shown promise earlier in the day during time practice. The recent round winner, Francesco Bellei from Dreams Racing was also making his way through the field, determined to replicate his earlier success.

On lap 5, Zanocz, who had been steadily pushing, took the lead from Tzemach. RFME GASGAS MXJunior Team’s Salvador Perez, riding with blistering pace, quickly moved up to 3rd and then 2nd, putting pressure on the leader. But heartbreak struck Zanocz on lap 7 when he encountered a significant bike issue, causing him to drop back dramatically, watching helplessly as Perez and a dozen other riders passed him by. As he couldn’t finish the race, this misfortune saw him lose the coveted red plate to Doensen, who had climbed to 8th at that time.

Perez, now in the lead, was not content with just leading; he set the fastest lap on lap 10, pulling a 3.5-second gap over Mancini in 2nd. However, a couple of mistakes, a lap later saw Perez lose some of his advantage, as Mancini closed in, eager to capitalise and take the win.

Sensing the urgency, Perez regained his focus and began to extend his lead once again, but a determined Mancini managed to take the lead with 3 laps to go. Mancini won the race while Perez secured 2nd place, with Bellei rounding the top 3. Gaspari, Alvisi and Doensen rounded out the top six, with the latter benefiting from Zanocz's misfortune to take the championship lead before the second race.

With the conditions extra wet from the overnight rainfall, Race 2 was going to be tough and technical in the the muddy conditions making a good start crucial. Alvisi, understood this perfectly, taking the holeshot and leading from the very beginning. Alvisi was followed closely by Ernecker, while Dani Heitink initially held third place before a fall on the opening lap pushed him back. Heitink showed remarkable resilience, fighting his way back through the field from 37th to finish just outside the top 10 in 11th place.

Among those who started well was Doensen, who had a strong start but faced challenges as the race progressed. The tricky conditions claimed several victims, including Bellei, who fell from 4th place on lap 3 of 13, allowing Mancini to make a move up the order.

Zanocz, who had a disappointing first race and failed to finish, was on a mission in Race 2. He carved his way through the pack, overtaking his teammate to move into 4th place. There were some tense moments but Zanocz managed to secure 3rd before getting passed by Mancini.

Perez, despite a challenging race and a fall, managed to cross the line in 9th place. The race saw crucial passes, including Zanocz getting around the outside of Doensen, the new championship leader coming into Race 2.

Mancini also made his way past Doensen and caught up to Zanocz, eventually passing him on the outside on lap 9 to finish 3rd.
However, due to the non-respect of a waved yellow flags and overtaking a rider, the Italian was penalised, pushing him down the order to 13th and losing the overall win. Bellei, who had been holding his own, managed to overtake Doensen for 5th that turned into 4th at the end of the race, with Doensen finishing 5th.

In the end, it was Alvisi who emerged victorious, taking his first overall victory of the season. Bellei got another podium with the 2nd place and a 3-4 while Ernecker secured his 3rd spot on the podium.

With one round to go, Doensen takes the championship lead, but his lead has been reduced to just six points. The battle for the EMX125 title is now more intense than ever, setting the stage for an epic finale. Game on!

Nicolò Alvisi: " My first year in EMX125, and my first round win, so this is for me an incredible moment! Thank you to the team, to my family, my sponsors and see you at the next race.”

Frauenfeld

FRAUENFELD (Switzerland) 21 August 2024 – From the deep, sandy terrain of the Netherlands, the FIM Motocross World Championship transfers to the grasslands of central Europe, as the MXGP of Switzerland Presented by iXS welcomes round 17 to the Schweizer Zucker circuit in the north-eastern city of Frauenfeld.

One of 10 separate venues to host World Championship Motocross in Switzerland, the Frauenfeld facility held its first GP back in 1981, a 125cc event won by a teenage Eric Geboers on his factory Suzuki, although it was Italian legend Michele Rinaldi who won the first individual race on his Gilera. A year later American legend Johnny O’Mara took a double-race 125cc victory here in his only GP outside of the USA. A third GP in 1983 was won by Georges Jobe in the 250cc class, but it would be 33 years before Grand Prix Motocross would return to the area.

Antonio Cairoli and Max Anstie were the MXGP and MX2 winners at the re-designed track in its 2016 return, but the most successful rider at this particular venue is once again Jeffrey Herlings of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, who took victory in 2017 and 2018.  Last season it was “Le Marseillaise” that rang out around Frauenfeld in both classes thanks to Monster Energy Yamaha Factory racers Maxime Renaux and Thibault Benistant, both of whom are sadly unable to join us for the 2024 event.

Swiss racers Jeremy Seewer for the Kawasaki Racing Team, Valentin Guillod for Team Ship To Cycle Honda Motoblouz SR, and Kevin Brumann for Team SixtySeven Husqvarna, will all fly the flag proudly at Frauenfeld, and Seewer in particular will look to go one better than the two second-place trophies he has earned here before!

With just three rounds to take place after this one, the season is approaching its vital final stages, and while Tim Gajser still leads the MXGP class for Team HRC, he has seen his advantage reduced to single figures, just nine points ahead of Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s reigning World Champion Jorge Prado. Both men have declared that the remaining tracks in the calendar are good for them, but they also have to watch out for Herlings, who has closed to within 35 points of the series leader after his double victory at Arnhem. 

The MX2 class has looked more competitive in action than on paper all season long, but Kay de Wolf and his Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing teammate Lucas Coenen both have their sights set on claiming the first world title for the brand under Austrian ownership. With 44 points between them, Lucas will need others to get between them, and Simon Laengenfelder is hoping to bounce back for Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing after a disappointing MXGP of The Netherlands, especially as he will have a lot of support just 20km away from the German border!

The epic EMX250 Championship battle resumes this weekend, with just 15 points covering the top three of last year’s EMX125 winner Mathis Valin for Bud Racing Kawasaki, Cas Valk of the Gabriel SS24 KTM team, and Valerio Lata for Beddini GASGAS Factory Juniors. Tall Swiss racer Nico Greutmann lies sixth in the points and will be hoping for podium success on the Cat Moto Bauerschmidt Husqvarna.

Another tight points situation faces the top riders in the penultimate round of the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing European Championship, with just five points separating the season-long red plate holder Noel Zanocz for Fantic Factory Racing EMX125 and the Racestore KTM Factory Rookies flyer Gyan Doensen! The Dutchman took a double victory at home in Arnhem and with just Frauenfeld and Cozar left to race he is knocking on the door of the Hungarian as we enter the final two rounds of the series!

The situation continues to get closer between the leading riders in the MXGP World Championship, as the titanic three-way battle between multiple World Champions Tim Gajser, Jorge Prado, and Jeffrey Herlings continues to rage through the season!

After another incredible performance in the sand at Arnhem, Herlings must feel optimistic that the 35-point deficit to the top of the table, which is the closest he’s been since round two, is something that he can hack down with the speed that he has shown even on harder surfaces this season. The key for him has to be the start, his real Achilles’ Heel this year, as he will be unable to reel in his competitors on the tracks to come at the same rate as he has in the sand. “The Bullet” has to make up just under nine points per round, which is certainly attainable, and his good history of two GP wins, including three individual race wins at the Frauenfeld venue.

Series leader Gajser took the second race win at the first event on the revamped circuit here in 2016, but hasn’t competed here since 2018. Prado took the overall victory in MX2 back in 2018, and won the opening race here last year to finish second overall behind Renaux. Both of the top two will fancy their chances against Herlings on the hard-pack surface, despite the Dutchman’s excellent record here.

There will be a notable wild card appearance for a real Swiss favourite, as Arnaud Tonus lines up for Hostettler Yamaha at the site of his only MXGP class race success. He won the first race in 2017 and still won the Swiss Championship, so the 33-year-old could surprise a few!

There is just one other rider who will line up at Frauenfeld with a GP win to his name here, and that is French De Baets Yamaha MX-Team lone wolf Benoit Paturel! The Frenchman took his only ever GP winner’s trophy home from this venue back in 2017, scoring 2-1 finishes to deny home favourite Jeremy Seewer.

Seewer himself would love to take his first GP win in his home country after a disastrous weekend last year, but he hasn’t finished on the podium here since that 2017 event.  He is close to moving up to fourth in the standings, and for sure his vocal local fans will get behind him! His Kawasaki Racing Team stablemate Romain Febvre has been on the MXGP podium here at every visit apart from 2017, when he just missed out, and was third overall last year.  His pace has been growing since his return from injury and he could get amongst the title contenders this weekend!

Just outside of the top five, Glenn Coldenhoff moved up to sixth with his brilliant performance at his home GP for Fantic Factory Racing, and home hero Guillod will enjoy his home turf as he tries to defend ninth in the series from Coldenhoff’s teammate Brian Bogers, who has just climbed into the top ten himself!

The stakes are high on the firm ground of Frauenfeld to show who is the best on hard-pack heading into the final three rounds!

The tension at the top of the MX2 Championship table is starting to build to a fever pitch, as the duelling Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing teammates Kay de Wolf and Lucas Coenen head to Switzerland with the Belgian chaser reducing the Dutchman’s gap to 44 points.  Recent mistakes from De Wolf have helped Coenen’s cause, and although he needs to claw back an average of 11 points per round, it’s the big chunks of points that Kay has given away that will give Lucas hope that it can be done. De Wolf did finish third overall here last year with 2-4 finishes, having a much better day than Lucas did, but a lot has changed since then!

Behind the leading two, Simon Laengenfelder had his worst weekend of the season at Arnhem, and will be hoping to bounce back on a surface where he should be more competitive. Reigning Champion Andrea Adamo has raised himself back up to fifth in the series behind his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammate Liam Everts, and took second overall here last year behind Benistant. 

Once more, nobody in the MX2 line-up has won a race at Frauenfeld, as the first race was won by Dutchman Roan van de Moosdijk, although Rick Elzinga scored an EMX125 podium here in 2018, and is hopeful of improving from seventh in the series, where he sits behind the Monster Energy Triumph Racing rider Mikkel Haarup.
