Who’s turning 14 today? The world’s MX talent – Latvian, Janis Martins Reisulis! The Latvian teenager is even under his young age the real EMX125 championship contender. Eventually, as we could see at Matterley Basin where he scored 3-4 for the first podium ever (3rd place) overall. As only 13 years old kid, that’s crazy!
Later on, during the opening round of the Dutch Masters of Motocross in Arnhem, Reisulis had a superb day while finishing 3rd and 1st for 2nd overall. A week ago at a tough and legendary circuit of Lierop, a brilliant ride with 1st and 2nd in the heats for 1st overall. This super talented kid has a real potential and I’m really looking forward to what he can do in the future.
Obviously, a young Latvian surprised already last year – his strong start to the EMX125 was really impressive! 2nd EMX125 race, 2nd heat (in Arco di Trento) and fantastic 2nd place (fastest lap of the race). It seems that the whole team has done an excellent job and cooperation with the ex-GP rider Roberts Justs (who had to retire because of serious injury) has been working really well. Can’t wait to see what Janis can do in the future, a bright future is waiting for you little man, Happy Birthday!
