The KTM JM Racing Team started the World Championship MX2 very good today in Faenza in Italy. It was a Grand Prix with rough conditions and due to the bad weather there was only one moto. Van Horebeek, Roelants and Teillet were able to score good in this moto. Van Horebeek got 2nd place, Roelants got 5th place and Teillet got 9th place.

The weekend started with nice weather on Saturday and therefore a dry circuit. On Saturday a qualification heat was held but this only counted for the starting positions on Sunday. In the heat Jeremy van Horebeek had a couple of nice duels with other riders but in the last part of the race he lost some places and finished 9th. Valentin Teillet was racing in 15th place after a couple laps. He started to ride in a higher pace and was able to get up to 10th place. With only 2 laps to go Teillet unfortunately lost 1 place and finished 11th. Joel Roelants started in 10th place but could not get  ahold of the right rhythm. After a while he got more bad luck because he fell. When he got up he noticed that his boot was stuck behind his braking paddle which made him lose a lot of time. Joel was able to overtake 1 place after he continued racing but finished 36th.

In the night from Saturday to Sunday it had rained a lot in Faenza and on Sunday morning it was still raining when the riders started training. The circuit was wet and muddy but in the first moto the 3 riders from the KTM JM Racing Team scored good. Van Horebeek was racing in the lead for a while but in the last lap he lost the lead and finished second. Joel Roelants was racing a very consistent first moto. He started in 6th place but he made a small mistake and dropped back to 9th place. He recovered well from his mistake and eventually finished 5th. Valentin Teillet started outside the top 20 but raced his best and finished a very nice 9th place.

Due to the bad weather conditions the organisation decided to cancel the second moto. next week the Championship will continue in Sevlievo, Bulgaria.
