Treimanis was going really smooth on this challenging track with to Pro Section Straights. Saturday he took the win in the Latvian Championships Round 1 and also Sunday he was on top of the podium in the Riga Cup Race.

Next Race for him is the European Championships Rounds in Weiterstadt (Germany) next weekend.

After unclipping in the Main Event, he managed to fight back to a podium spot.

Next Race for Rune will be the European Championships Rounds in Weiterstadt (Germany), where he will join his Latvian Team Mates for his first International Race this season.

Rune had no problems qualifying for the Main Event of the Belgian Top Competion 1.  In the Main, he slipped at the gate, but with some good pull on the first straight and a good finish straight, he managed to fight his way back to a second spot.

Congrats Rune!

Next round of the Belgian Top Competition will be held at Rune’s Home Track in Peer on May 5th.

First race of the 2013 Euro Season. With over 100 competitors in Elite Men, our #1 rider Edžus Treimanis managed to grab two 3 rd places on the typical french track. Edzus was very satisfied with these 2 podiums, especially as training facilities in Europe were very limited the last months, due to the severe winter.

Sandra Aleksejeva, coming back after an operation earlier this year, stranded in the Semis both days. She is very determined to make it to the finals in the near future.

Our 2 youngsters Niels Rubens and Rune Deburghrave were still out with injuries. Niels is recovering from his operation, but it will take some time for him to get back to racing.  Rune will start racing again next weekend during the Belgian Top Competition.

Next race for Edžus Treimanis is the first SX World Cup this year, held in Manchester (April 19-20).

Sandra Aleksejeva and Nico van Dartel will be present at the next rounds of the European Championships in Pardubice (April 27-28).
