European Championship Motocross Guillod and Dercourt EMX250 and EMX125 winners in Loket



EMX125
Getting off to a cracker of a start was Italian Davide Bonini who flew out of the gate and led the opening laps. While Bonini began with loads of energy, as he approached mid-race he began to fade allowing Swedish topper Anton Lundgren and yesterdays ‘Group B’ Semi-Final winner Nicolas Dercourt to get by. As Bonini dropped back, the battle between Lundgren and Dercourt raged on. After switching positions multiple times Nicolas Dercourt finally made a pass stick, pulling out a lead of more than ten seconds to bring home his first EMX125 win of the season.

Swedish Anton Lundgren rode solid to take home second only three seconds clear of South African Calvin Vlaanderen in third. Meanwhile the red plate holder Wilvo Nestaan JM Racing KTM’s Pauls Jonass had his work cut out for him. After being caught in a pile up on the first turn, the talented Latvian was left to fight from almost last. Jonass put in a hard charge and was already in tenth before the completion of lap two, only to throw it away again with another crash. Despite two costly errors Jonass battled on passing Davide Bonini in the closing laps to bring home fourth.

After round five, Wilvo Nestaan JM Racing KTM’s Pauls Jonass holds on to the red plate twenty nine points clear of second. While the round of Czech Republic winner Nicolas Dercourt holds onto third in the championship, only three points behind Calvin Vlaanderen in second.

EMX250
Guillod Motorsports Valentin Guillod proved to be back on form this weekend when he took the holeshot and led every lap unchallenged.

Following Guillod around turn one was Standing Construct KTM’s Damon Graulus and Rockstar Energy Suzuki Europe’s Jeremy Seewer. On lap four Graulus made a few small errors allowing the Swiss rider Seewer and Beursfoon MX Team’s Mike Kras to go by. While Seewer proceeded to check out, Kras was left to deal with a persistent Graulus who was eager to take back that third place. As the duo Kras and Graulus brawled for third position Husqvarna Factory Junior Team’s Benoit Paturel was at the advantage as he closed in enough to join the battle.

Coming into the closing stages of the race, with less than three seconds separating the third place of Kras and the fifth place of Paturel, the race began to intensify. Despite many last minute bold moves Kras managed to hold on for third leaving Graulus to settle for fourth and Paturel for fifth.

After six rounds of the EMX250 Championship Guillod Motorsports Valentin Guillod leads, seventeen points ahead of fellow Swiss rider Rockstar Energy Suzuki Europe’s Jeremy Seewer.
