Jago Geerts took to the track for the team on his Beta RX450, determined to build on the progress shown throughout the season. The Belgian rider’s weekend got off to a difficult start, with the 23rd fastest time in free practice and 20th in timed practice, followed by an unlucky qualifying session in which a crash after a good start forced him to stage a gruelling comeback to 19th place. On Sunday, however, Geerts showed real grit: in Race 1, having started around fifteenth place, he fought his way up to eleventh before the after-effects of the leg injury he sustained at Uddevalla caused him to drop off slightly in pace, though he still finished fourteenth. In Race 2, he managed to do even better, crossing the line in twelfth place. Thanks to these results, Jago finished tenth overall for the day, securing a valuable top-ten finish and consolidating his sixteenth position in the championship standings.

Jago Geerts: “After a difficult Saturday, I managed two good races today. I felt better and better as the weekend went on. After last weekend’s crash, I wasn’t in peak condition and needed a bit more time to get into my stride. In the end, I finished tenth overall, a result I’m very pleased with. Next week I’ll try to get back to full fitness so I can prepare as well as possible for the final three races of the season.”
