RACE RECAP: Geerts in the Top Ten on the Arnhem sand.
The Arnhem sand provided the backdrop for a display of pure character and determination for the Beta team. More than thirty thousand fans packed the stands for the season’s final European Grand Prix, spurring the riders on across one of the most physically demanding and selective tracks on the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar. Against this demanding backdrop, the MRT Racing Team Beta Factory once again demonstrated its willingness to fight and grit its teeth without giving an inch.
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.”
David Fabián was the leading rider at Kyselka during the Czech Republic International Trial Championship rounds. Riding his Beta Sincro Factory 300, David tackled a challenging natural course through the woods, featuring rocks, jumps, steep climbs and numerous technical sections.
In the prestigious TR1 category, Fabián dominated the weekend, securing victory on both Saturday and Sunday. He also achieved excellent results in the Junior class, where he claimed the top step of the podium on both days of competition.
The ground conditions made the competition particularly challenging. The rain that had fallen in the preceding days had indeed made the sections very slippery, putting all the competitors to the test. Despite the difficulties, Fabián managed to maintain a high and consistent pace, getting the better of his rivals thanks to his precise and effective riding.
With this double victory, the Czech rider confirms his excellent form and the great potential of the Beta Sincro Factory 300, the star of yet another weekend packed with success.
Samuel Stuchlík shines at Jihlava in the CAMS Czech Cross Country Championship. Over the weekend of 22–23 August 2026, the rider excelled at the Jihlava round, securing two victories in Saturday’s 60-minute races in the MČR1 E1 category, whilst also finishing in 2nd place in the Overall Open classification.
On Sunday, in the 100-minute race, Stuchlík confirmed his excellent form by defending his lead in the E1 class and crossing the finish line in 3rd place overall.
Work in the workshop continues and the throttle remains wide open!
