Kegums – Lettonian’s GP is held in the beautiful surrounds of the track in Kegums, the lines are about 40 Klm from the beautiful city of Riga, where every year tourists from all over the world, land for their holiday.
The clouds accompanied the GP for all the weekend causing the major problems during the second manche of the MX2, for the rest, the track held well and the organization was great.
MX2 First Manche – The two pilots drawn for the MX2 from TM Racing, Andrea Cervellin and the re-found Nick Kouwenberg , “Nick was injured at the Star Cross of Mantova at the beginning of the season”
They take off at the back, but lap after lap they climb back up the classification, above all Andrea Cervellin who climbs to the eighteenth position, clocking up the same time as the pilots who occupy the tenth and eleventh positions
Though Andrea, five minutes from the end , while making yet another overtake manoeuvre, falls, thus voiding all the work he had done.
Andrea closes the first manche in the twenty-fourth position, while Kouwenberg was forced to retire because of a fall-
MX2 Second Manche –The ensigns of TM Racing lined up in the MX2 take off to redeem the very poor result obtained in the first manche, but good luck has decided to look the other way today and so the TM Racing Team SKS POLNED remedy two withdrawals.
Andrea had to stop due to a contact with another pilot that caused the breaking of the right hand side radiator, while Nick, not having yet the physical conditions to finish the two manches, preferred to stop.
