Formula Europe in Italy : veni,vidi,vici !

At rounds 5&6 of the European BMX Championship in Creazzo, Italy, Formula Europe’s Bastien Merle took a firm win in the boys 16 category ! On day 2 , Bastien got out of the race in the semis and missed his chance for a double win.

In girls 13/14 , Lucie Meerholz  managed to go to the finals on both days with a # 5 on saturday and a # 6 on sunday.

Max Ganser, rookie in the junior men class, did very well on the very technical track but got out in the semi on both days. On sunday, he only got 1 spot short to go to the finals.

In Elite men, Edzus Treimanis got out on saturday in the quarters, after a crash in the first corner. But he made it all up on sunday by going to the finals and taking the 6th position ! Edzus is now number 5 in the current ranking !

After this weekend, one can say that Edzus and Max are ready to go to Copenhague, Denmark to rock the Supercross Track at the World Cup Series.

Steven Wong will not participate in Denmark because of a bad crash on the pro section last saturday. That’s a pity, because Steven was going really fast !!!
Rihards Veide and Niklas Laustsen are still out with collarbone injury, but will be ready for round 7 and 8 of  the EU championship in Dessel, Belgium.

Keep an eye on the yellow squad !!!
