MXGP Kegums: Renaux grabs MX2 race win

Monster Energy Yamaha Maxime Renaux grabbed the MX2 first race win of the day in Kegums, Latvia.

Red Bull KTM Mattia Guadagnini grabbed a massive holeshot in the opening MX2 moto of the day in Latvia, ahead of Monster Energy Yamaha Maxime Renaux and Rockstar Husqvarna’s Jed Beaton.

Renaux and Guadagnini battled back and forth in the tough Latvian sand, as the battle for third and fourth continued with Jago Geerts and Jed Beaton just behind in the opening laps of the first moto of the day.

Honda 114 motorsports rider Ruben Fernandez however nearly got wiped out by another rider after making a mistake and crashing on one of the jumps mid race, which ultimately meant he finished down in seventeenth, with brit team mate Joel Rizzi finishing down in twenty first position.

Renaux went on to claim the opening moto one win of the day followed by Mattia Guadagnini and Jago Geerts rounding up the top three finishers.
