EMX MOTOCROSS LAUSITZRING (Germany), 28 July 2013 – It was a battle against the elements here at the spectacular EuroSpeedway Lausitzring, Germany for round four of the FIM EMX 125 Championship. The combination of plus thirty degree temperatures and a rou

Firing out of the gate was Team MJC’s Nicolas Dercourt followed by the red plate holder Pauls Jonass and Anton Lundgren. Jonass was in no mood for games passing Dercourt immediately and going on to lead the race unchallenged from start to finish. Meanwhile, Lundgren was on the attack, eager to find a way around Dercourt. Dercourt did his best to hold onto the second place, but with KTM Bodo Schmidt Motorsports Clavin Vlaanderen closing in, Lundgren was forced to make a move and fast. On lap five both Lundgren and Vlaanderen got around Dercourt engaging in an intense battle of their own. Around mid-race Vlaanderen found the opening he had been waiting for and took over the second position dropping Lundgren back to third.

Coming into the closing stages of the race Nicolas Dercourt was again under attack, this time from Kemea-Reytec v/d Laar Yamaha’s Frederik Van Der Vlist who was trying to redeem himself after a bad start saw him outside the top ten. After finding new lines and making good passes throughout the entire race, Van Der Vlist soon got around Dercourt to take over and finish fourth forcing Dercourt to settle for fifth. Finishing in sixth was KTM Sarholz Racing Team’s Henry Jacobi who was flying the flag high for Germany. Despite having a terrible start the German youngster battled hard to bring home a sixth place finish at his home round.

After round four, Wilvo Nestaan JM Racing KTM’s Pauls Jonass holds on to his perfect score and will be looking to keep his momentum going next weekend in Loket, Czech Republic for round five of the EMX125 Championship.
