MOTOCROSS Mitchell Lewis leads the launch of the EMX150 class

In the Final it was Danish Michael Joergensen who took an outstanding holeshot ahead of yesterday’s top qualifier Mitchell Lewis and Italian Filippo Grigoletto. Joergensen put up a decent fight and managed to lead lap one but the tables soon turned coming into lap two when there was no holding off the wrath of the flying duo Lewis and Grigoletto. After taking the lead British Mitchell Lewis began knuckling down leaving Grigoletto to deal with an attack from Italian Alberto Forato. Forato was quick to pass his fellow countryman Grigletto and then went on to set his sights on the front runner Lewis. Lap four saw Forato put in a hard charge and close the gap on Lewis who was riding solid out front but young Italian seemed tired and opted to settle for second.

After the first fifteen minutes there was no denying the extreme plus thirty degree Celsius heat here in Lausitzring was playing its part. Soldiering on to take the first ever EMX 150 Championship Final win was British Mitchell Lewis ahead of the two Italians Alberto Forato and Filippo Grigoletto. The holeshot receiver Michael Joergensen battled through the heat to finish fourth ahead of another British rider Ethan Winchester.
