Jānis Reišulis has confirmed he will race the MX2 class at The Ashbrook Hawkstone International powered by Syntol on Sunday, February 21, 2027. It will be one of his first races for Reišulis on board the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing machine.
At just 18 years old, Reišulis is one of the fastest-rising young riders in world motocross. He won the EMX125 European Championship in 2023 and the EMX250 European Championship in 2025. In 2026, his rookie MX2 World Championship season, he finished sixth overall and was the top rookie in the class. He took Grand Prix podiums in Portugal (2nd, his first MX2 podium), South Africa (3rd) and Australia (3rd), and had 11 top five finishes from 19 rounds. He grabbed the holeshot and led laps at the opening round in Argentina and won the Fox Holeshot award at the MXGP of France. He also rode for Team Latvia at the Motocross of Nations, placing sixth in the MX2 class and helping his country to fourth overall.
Reišulis is known for his strong sand riding. That makes him one to watch on Hawkstone’s famous circuit. The 2027 event will be his first Hawkstone International.
Tickets will be available on the gate.
