00:00...minutes plus two, about to get on the way here at the Zeltzerzerks in Latvia.
00:07The five-second board has turned, all eyes over to the inside gates, potentially, maybe even someone, get a good jump from the middle.
00:16Langenfelder sides his way across, the front of everybody, both the triumphs go down, DeWolf is down as well.
00:23Oh, and the KTM riders taking themselves out, as Sascha Kunin pulls an endo in the second turn.
00:34Drama here already at the start of the race, and Langenfelder, he is sitting pretty, and we could find ourselves with a new red plate holder after this qualifying race.
00:43Yes, it's early stages, but to Yamaha's second and third, what a start for Julius Minkler on the TM in 20, on the number 20, he's there in fourth place.
00:51Braceres looks like he's survived as well, he's in fifth, balance six, and then looking around, around the outside.
00:57Is that Volk? I think it might be on the finish line. It is, as he moves up in the fifth place.
01:07Both Hasvanas, both two of the Red Bull KTMs, down in the first couple of corners, in strange, bizarre incidents.
01:14And two triumphs as well, I might add.
01:20Fortunately for them, there are only 22 riders on the gate, so when they say they came from last to third, only had half a field to come through.
01:28Could have been different if it was Germany a week ago, that's for sure.
01:31Anyway, Langenfelder leads the way, Rachel is second, that's what all the noise is about.
01:38Trackside, Beniston in third, Volk fourth, Minkler in the light, well, in the sort of royal blue, if you like, in fifth place.
01:46Braceres, six, balance seven, Prunier, Smith, and Everts.
01:50Everts rounding out your top ten.
01:52Oliver, Olsen, Smulders, DeWolf, De Baer, Gros, Tulsma, Ferez, Adamo, McClellan, there you, top 20.
01:59And there's Sacha Koen and Valerio Lata.
02:10Good to see Julius Minkler there, enjoying a good start.
02:14Doesn't matter what's happening around him, he's there enjoying that good start, fourth position at the moment.
02:22Or fifth place, actually, now, because Volk in that fourth place on the 172, then Rui, KTM.
02:31Carlos Reisler is second overall here last year in EMX 250.
02:36How good would it be if he could get a good result here, give the fans something to cheer about.
02:43Second in the race at the moment, Simon Langenfeld about one and a half seconds at the track.
02:46If he can get close to the German, that'll be something.
02:53Adamo down in 17, he put the flag out now.
02:56Langenfelder, 4-7-3.
03:01At the top of the championship, with the red plate, 4-66, Andrea Adamo.
03:06And there's a lot of work to do for Adamo to get into the points.
03:17So we'll worry about that as things unfold.
03:22But Carlos Reisler, the 47, on the Monster Energy Yamaha, fastest rider on track on that opening lap.
03:28A 2.02.6, chasing down the Red Bull KTM of Simon Langenfelder.
03:37Who's aggressive move at the start of the race, highlighting how serious he is about regaining the championship lead.
03:44Went to the line 6th, that was his time in time practice.
03:48Gave himself 6th gate pick.
03:50But got a good jump, seized the opportunity to come across everybody.
03:54That's exactly what he did.
03:55Thibaut Beniston, they're in 3rd position.
04:04A winner here in 1.25 and 2.50 over the years.
04:11In those European championship classes.
04:18But Langenfelder would have had the board, I'm sure, to let him know where Adamo is.
04:24Riders have that little code with their mechanics.
04:25What information do you want me to tell you this race?
04:27Just let me know where Adamo is.
04:29If I can see him, you don't have to worry about it.
04:30If I can't see him, just keep me informed.
04:35Factory TM.
04:37Of the number 20, Julius Mikula.
04:39TM Motor, CRD Motorsport TM.
04:41But the youngster, who had his first full season in MX2 last year, decided not to do EMX 250.
04:52Here he is, in that 5th place at the moment, keeping a Patrick Kawasaki behind him.
05:05Of Mattis Valen.
05:06Had a tough home Grand Prix in Czech Republic last year.
05:11Kind of found himself sat on the sidelines.
05:14Going up towards the, coming out of Turn 2, up towards Turn 3.
05:17Took him out for a few races.
05:18But he rebounded well.
05:21Found himself lining up for Czech Republic at the Nations.
05:24And here he is.
05:27Enjoying 5th place at the moment in this qualifying race.
05:31Early stages, I know.
05:32But 17th in the championship.
05:33A point behind Valen.
05:34So these two eyeing up each other in that respect.
05:42Of course, Valen's missed a couple of rounds due to injury.
05:45Julius Mikula, though, just trying to build himself into a little bit of confident mood.
05:50The tall Czech Republic rider there in blue.
05:53Valen just behind him in 6th.
05:54Prunier about 2 seconds further back in 7th.
05:57Then we've got Oliver and DeWolf.
05:59Or Everts, Oliver, DeWolf.
06:018, 9, 10.
06:04Meanwhile, battle up front.
06:06Langenfelder and Reichliss.
06:08Nothing in it between the two of them.
06:10Beniston joining the party as well.
06:12He was a fastest on lap 3.
06:13On lap 2 a moment ago.
06:15Thibaut Beniston.
06:16Only 2 and a half seconds.
06:17Separate your first three riders a moment ago.
06:20At the last split.
06:25Adamo still.
06:26In fact, he's just moved up to 14th, I think.
06:28But that's no points on the board.
06:29He has to get to 10th before he picks up a championship point.
06:34So, bizarre incidents coming out of the first turn.
06:37Both the triumphs went down.
06:39Coming out of the...
06:40And DeWolf also got caught in that melee.
06:43He's now up into 9th place.
06:45And going out of turn 2.
06:46Sasha Kunin just folded the front where they'd prepped the track.
06:50He just pulled an endo.
06:51Instant stop.
06:52He took out Adamo.
06:53And I think Everts was in there as well.
06:55Lighter maybe.
06:55Three laps complete.
07:02Fastest lap for Langenfelder.
07:07The German now 1.7 seconds clear.
07:10Over race list.
07:11Hanging on to that second place.
07:14Coming into view.
07:15Mikola.
07:16And Valant.
07:22Valant looking to go around the outside.
07:25Gets good drive.
07:26But gets denied on the exit.
07:27But then sneaks across from right to left.
07:30Still can't find a way through.
07:32As Mikola hangs on.
07:34There's Everts.
07:35Just behind him on the 26th.
07:37He is in 7th.
07:38He's found his way past Prunier.
07:40As Valant goes past the number 20.
07:42And moves up into that 5th place.
07:43Valant defends the inside.
07:56Everts looking to throw a way through as well.
07:59Everts.
08:01Up to 7th.
08:08De Wolf is closing in thick and fast as well.
08:10The number 1.
08:11Just there.
08:12So both Nostar and Husqvarna's.
08:15Line astern as they swing through that fast wave section.
08:26Outside line for Everts.
08:31Can't leave the door open here because De Wolf will pounce.
08:34And as I say that, Everts goes around the outside and pounces on Mikola instead.
08:39Moves up into 6th place.
08:40And it's now going after Valant for 5th as De Wolf tries to figure out Julius Mikola.
08:57Mikola in blue in that 7th position for TN.
09:04Just behind them, Prunier in 10th place.
09:08And Olivier, sorry, in 9th.
09:10Oh, De Wolf stays up, crucially stays on two wheels.
09:18Mario Olivier just here on the 51.
09:21Behind him in 9th place.
09:23A very lucky escape for Kai De Wolf.
09:26Just caught the rear wheel of Mikola.
09:29Halfway in, a couple of replays would be nice at the start.
09:37And one or two other incidences just to explain where, why De Wolf and Everts were where they are.
09:44And Guayadamo's where he is.
09:46And Sacha Kunin, who was your pole man.
09:51But, take your eyes off this and you know exactly what's going to happen.
09:55There's going to be a million more passes.
10:02For landing that 5th place.
10:10That has been 5th on two occasions, hasn't he?
10:12Bookended round 1 and round 10.
10:16Here's Sacha Kunin.
10:1918th at the moment.
10:20Going to be no points on the board for him.
10:21Clutch lever hanging off the side of the bike.
10:23Look, completely snapped off the perch.
10:26That's what's swinging down on the left-hand side of the bike.
10:28So he's riding without a clutch.
10:30Sacha Kunin, that's why he's having a rail.
10:32These outside berms are just hoping for the best.
10:38Evertz on the Valant.
10:40Valant looking to come back immediately.
10:44And he can't quite find his way through.
10:46Evertz now up into 5th place.
10:48Right, here's Evertz.
11:01Gets around the outside of Valant.
11:11They're bar to bar as they hit the jump.
11:13And he manages to stay outside, inside.
11:17To make the pass stick.
11:18That's how Evertz moved his way up into 5th place.
11:24Right, replay at the start.
11:26Watch Hangenfelder here.
11:27Turns right immediately.
11:29Closes everybody else off.
11:30And then watch the two triumphs.
11:31I think McClellan got caught there.
11:35Took his teammate out.
11:36And then this bizarre incident.
11:38Latter, Adamo, Evertz, Kunin.
11:44Which goes to show you how soft that turn 2 was.
11:47McClellan got tagged here.
11:49That's what took him down.
11:50His teammate had nowhere to go.
11:52Aria Oliver also got caught in that.
11:54So Oliver, a good recovery to get himself in the night.
11:57Helped out by half the pack going down here
11:59in the very next turn.
12:00Right, Kyle DeWolf trying to find his way by.
12:10Mattis Valant at the moment.
12:13Valant at 6th.
12:14DeWolf at 7th.
12:17Heavy dirt around the outside due to that overnight rain.
12:20Halting the progress momentarily for the defending champ.
12:24DeWolf continues to press though.
12:31Outside, switches back to the inside.
12:34Oh, loses the front end mid-turn.
12:36Valant knows he's there as well.
12:45Still no way through for the defending champ
12:47who's losing more points in this championship
12:49to Simon Langenfelder,
12:50your new championship leader as it stands right now.
12:54DeWolf with that 7th, he'll gain 4 points
13:01on Adamo, who is yet to get himself into the points.
13:06Adamo in 12th.
13:07And 7 minutes plus 2 to go.
13:10Rachelis 2nd, Beniston 3rd.
13:12Langenfelder now 6 seconds clear.
13:15So the two Monster Energy Yamahas battling over that 2nd place.
13:18The 47th and the 9th.
13:20Rachelis and Beniston.
13:24They've got about 4 seconds over Volk,
13:27who's having a lonely ride in that 4th place.
13:29There he was, just in the background.
13:33On the Benrye racing KTM.
13:37Then we've got 11 seconds back to Evertson,
13:40Valant and DeWolf.
13:42There's Mikola looking to hang on to the 8th place at the moment.
13:45That'll be his first qualifying points of the season.
13:53If he can hang on there, Julius Mikola.
14:01Simon Langenfelder waking up on the right side of bed this morning,
14:04bringing his A game.
14:05Definitely looks like he's had his weed to Victoria's 3 shredded weed, doesn't he?
14:12Because he is...
14:14So 45, put it this way, it's 45 minutes back to Riga.
14:17He's halfway there with that 2nd, 2nd advantage over the rest of the field.
14:28Hasn't flinched, has he?
14:30Quick look across.
14:32Sees the two teammates coming back towards him in the opposite direction.
14:35Fantastic ride though, this, for Carlos Rachelis.
14:39I'm sure the team will be sitting there saying,
14:41well, if you can do this here,
14:43where have these performances been all throughout the year?
14:45Because a 7th place in Argentina was his best qualifying of the season so far.
14:51Three other top 10 finishes throughout the campaign.
14:54The rest outside of the top 10.
14:59Something about coming home, maybe,
15:00where you need to bring that homely feel to every round.
15:05But 2nd, 3rd, wherever he finishes in this race,
15:10it'll definitely be a good boost for him.
15:12Heading into the weekend, heading forward from here on out as well,
15:15to Mattelie and beyond.
15:19Benny, pressing though, not letting him off the hook, is he?
15:26Rule number one, beating team-mate and all that.
15:30Rachelis, exactly...
15:32trying to do exactly that.
15:35Rachelis, just getting hung up on one of those holes there.
15:46Back end, just switching right.
15:48Cost him a little bit of drive.
15:49Thibaut Beniston, back on the rear wheel of the 47.
15:53Chooses a different line through that turn.
15:54It worked for him as well.
15:55Has to follow him, follow him in here, though.
16:02Oliver up to 8th.
16:03Mikola down to 9th.
16:04Ferez up to 10th.
16:06Prunier down to 11th.
16:08Adamo still 12th.
16:09Only just though.
16:10Prunier all over the back of him.
16:12Needs two positions just to get it to the points.
16:15Andrea Adamo.
16:16Nadamo, the championship leader, don't forget, coming into this weekend.
16:23The battle going on between the two Monster Energy Yamahas here.
16:26Rachelis, how much more of this can he stand?
16:36Can't afford to leave the door too far open here.
16:38Should have got the spec stavers.
16:53Feeling a little bit dizzy after all that.
16:57Anyway, Langenfelder working his way towards the other lap, eh?
17:00Langenfelder with the most qualifying points so far this year with 73 coming into this one.
17:15He's looking to extend that and make it 83 points towards his championship tally.
17:20And when you think it could be potentially 83 and Adamo only on 65 at the moment.
17:31It's a massive inconsistency in terms of those points that are on offer.
17:36Here's Benistan down inside.
17:40Taking over that second place.
17:50Ferez going through in 10th.
17:54There's Prunier and Black.
17:57Feet off the pegs there.
17:58Andrea Adamo.
17:59Oh, I tell you what, he's got some body burns, hasn't he?
18:02Looks like he's had a rear tyre.
18:04Well, he did try and wear the bike as a rucksack, didn't he?
18:06As he went down in turn two.
18:08He went down just behind his teammate.
18:10And I think, oh, he's almost off the track there as well.
18:15But when Sacha Kunin's bike just front flipped.
18:20Adamo was up the inside of him, tried to wear it as a rucksack.
18:24Rear wheel must have spun on his back, on his shirt.
18:26His shirt is all tore open.
18:29There's going to be some tyre damage.
18:30Yeah, you can see the scuffs on the body.
18:34Just below his armpit.
18:36That'll be stinging as well with a bit of sweat and a bit of dirt.
18:41Probably won't notice it at the moment, but when he gets back and they try and clean him up.
18:45Just don't ask me.
18:46Just don't ask anybody to jet wash you off.
18:50Prudier doing his best in 11th.
18:54Adamo's still 12th.
18:55Seems like he's been in 12th for an eternity.
18:58But now we see why.
18:59Probably carrying one or two war wounds.
19:10Adamo clutching, panic rev.
19:12Letting Prudier know that he's there.
19:17Letting him know that he's frustrated as well.
19:20And just behind him, Camden McClellan.
19:23Another rider riding angry after he too got caught in an unfortunate first turn.
19:29Incident.
19:30Looking to move to the inside here.
19:41Adamo.
19:43Can't find his way through there.
19:46Tries to cut back here as well.
19:47Got to be careful doing that because if McClellan comes in hot, guess who gets T-boned?
19:51Nine laps complete.
20:00Langenfelder, almost 10 seconds clear of Thibaut Beniston.
20:02Rachelis, another five seconds further back.
20:05He's going to be in third place.
20:06Volk, five seconds behind him in fourth.
20:08Then we've got Evertz, DeWolf, close to about three seconds apart.
20:11Valat, all over the back of DeWolf.
20:16Meanwhile, Ferez nine, Mikkel a 10, Prunier 11.
20:20Adamo here, 12, number 80.
20:24And with three laps to go,
20:27this is DeWolf going past.
20:31Valat, a moment ago to move into sixth place.
20:41Oh, Prunier, a mistake.
20:43That allows Adamo through.
20:50Adamo now up into 11th place.
21:01Can he go after Mikkel for that final point?
21:06McClellan has also found his way past Prunier.
21:09McClellan now up in the 12th place.
21:11The biggest winner here
21:22is going to be Simon Langenfelder.
21:26We asked the question,
21:27will there be another championship leaders red plate change?
21:30And the answer at the moment is going to be yes.
21:37The question is,
21:37what's the point deficit going to be
21:39between Langenfelder and Adamo?
21:44Those two playing ping-pong red plate at the moment.
21:49Or red plate, ping-pong, whichever way you...
21:51just sends Camden-McClellan might have something to say here as well, you know.
22:01Mikkel is on the verge of not picking up his first world championship point in the qualifying races this year
22:07because he's been caught by Adamo.
22:09Adamo tries to ruffle him up down the inside.
22:12He'll go around the outside, hope for a bit of slingshot.
22:14He'll get that, he'll get better drive, gets alongside the Czech rider.
22:18Mikkel, you see the two lines there, how they change.
22:23Mikkel, all three riders actually all over the step-up.
22:28Playing into the hands of McClellan,
22:31as Adamo gets held up here by the number 20.
22:34This is for 10th place.
22:36And a world championship point, Adamo off the side of the track.
22:42And McClellan looking to find his way past the Italian,
22:44but he can't get the distance over the jump.
22:48Another mistake there for Adamo as well on the exit of the turn.
22:51Nervous look over the shoulder, he knows he needs a championship point.
23:06What a race this is, for one point.
23:11Mikkel, just sitting there minding his own business.
23:15Oh, Camshaft looking to move down the inside here.
23:18Can't find a way through, has to shut the door,
23:20or shut off the gas even.
23:23There's Adamo, tries to go defensive.
23:27These two now tripping each other up.
23:31Leaders already into the final lap.
23:33Ah, McClellan, pulling tear-offs, misses is the inside line.
23:41That's going to allow a bit of breathing space
23:44for Adamo to then go and attack
23:47the number 20 of Mikkel on this final lap.
23:53Meanwhile, 10 seconds clear, Simon Langenfelder.
23:57Just the one quali win so far this year.
24:06This one coming very, very timely for him.
24:11If he brings it home
24:12for the 10-point haul.
24:22Stayed out of trouble, didn't he?
24:24Nine-point-nine seconds clear.
24:30Probably can't believe how easy it was,
24:31but he'll go back, watch the replay,
24:33realise that in two separate incidents,
24:36pretty much the entire field wiped itself out.
24:39Half the field in Turn 1,
24:40half the field in Turn 2,
24:41at which point the other half of the field
24:43that were picking themselves up from the deck
24:44at Turn 1 came back around the outside.
24:46Couldn't believe there, look either.
24:47Back end, lighten up, right and left.
24:56Bit of a warning.
24:59Not to be too casual.
25:01Watch this.
25:04There, look.
25:05But, over the liquid molly jump,
25:13through the final turn.
25:15To the left, Simon Langenfelder
25:17is going to cross the line.
25:19He's going to win the qualifying race here
25:21in Latvia.
25:23And guess what?
25:24It's his second win of the season
25:26in this quali race,
25:27his second pole.
25:28And with it,
25:29he's going to take the championship leaders,
25:30red plate,
25:31back from Andrea Adamo.
25:35Beniston over the line,
25:36second.
25:36Rachelis should be third.
25:38We'll have Volk,
25:39Evans, DeWolf,
25:40Valan,
25:41Oliver, Ferez.
25:42Will it be Mikola or Adamo, though,
25:44with that final point?
25:47Adamo pushing hard.
25:54Mikola can't afford any mistakes.
25:56Adamo,
25:57he may have to take a risk
25:58for that one point.
26:01He gets the double.
26:04Is he going to run out of time here?
26:05I think so.
26:10Julius Mikola.
26:12Yeah,
26:12Adamo throws in the towel.
26:14Mikola crosses the line in ten.
26:15He takes his first
26:16qualifying point
26:17of the season.
26:22But,
26:22the bigger story
26:23in all of this
26:24is we have a new championship leader.
26:27It's going to be
26:28Simon Langenfelder.
26:31He arrived here
26:32three points down.
26:33He goes into the race
26:34seven points clear
