Lucas Bos has won the 2024 Junior e-Motocross Series at the fifth and final round at the MXGP of Switzerland. The French youngster clinched the title following an impressive season that saw him secure two overall wins and two other podium finishes. At round five, it was Ryan Gabriel who claimed the overall win.

The 2024 Junior e-Motocross Series headed to Switzerland for round five, with 36 eager young competitors taking to the start line in Frauenfeld.

After his strong performance at round three, Belgium’s Roan Calado Reyes was second, with Austria’s Ryan Gabriel in third.

Race one on Saturday was super competitive, with Ryan Gabriel steering his Husqvarna EE 5 to a commanding 12-second victory after an intense battle with Lucas Bos. Under the blazing Swiss sun, Bos took the lead on lap two, but the young Austrian claimed it back with three laps to go. Rounding out the podium was France’s Mathis Negre, who finished just three seconds behind countryman Bos after battling with Alexander Bihlmann for most of the race.

Sunday morning’s race two saw the weather take a turn for the worse, with heavy rain causing the race to be red-flagged.

Lucas Bos was crowned 2024 2024 Junior e-Motocross Series champion after his second-place finish in race one. Germany’s Alexander Bihlmann had an impressive year in the series on his GASGAS MC-E 5, with a race win and two podiums under his belt, to finish second overall.

Saturday’s first race saw Alexander Bihimann dominate, leading the whole race to come out on top aboard his GASGAS MC-E 5.

Ryan Gabriel rounded out the top three in race one.

Race two belonged to series leader Lucas Bos, who steered his KTM SX-E 5 to victory in Loket.

Just three seconds behind Bos was fellow Frenchman Mathis Negre in second, with Austria’s Raphael Edlinger in third.

Sunday morning saw the enthusiastic young riders line up for round four of the Junior e-Motocross Series. Ryan Gabriel put in the fastest time again in the second timed practice of the weekend, making his intentions clear ahead of the upcoming two races.

Lucas Bos, fuelled by his win in race two on Saturday, took control in Sunday’s race one and moved into the lead by lap two, maintaining it until the finish to claim the victory. Ryan Gabriel secured a solid runner-up finish, with current championship runner-up Alexander Bihimann coming home in third.

Race two saw a new victor emerge, with Austria’s Raphael Edlinger claiming his first victory of the series after leading the race from start to finish. Collecting another runner-up finish and proving that consistency is key, Ryan Gabriel put in an excellent ride to secure the overall round four win. Third place went to Denmark’s Vitus Horsebog who finished less than a second behind Gabriel.

The Junior e-Motocross series entertained the packed crowds at the MXGP of Czech Republic, showcasing the capability of the Husqvarna, KTM, and GASGAS machines as well as the talent of the next generation of riders.

02.06.2024 News News 2024

Jonas Moutin has emerged victorious in Teutschenthal at round two of the 2024 Junior e-Motocross Series after securing a commanding race win on Saturday. The KTM SX-E 5 mounted French youngster put in an impressive ride in front of a packed crowd at the MXGP of Germany.

Just two weeks on from the season opener, the 2024 Junior e-Motocross Series headed to the valley of Teutschenthal, Germany, one of the most iconic circuits on the MXGP calendar, for round two. The action kicked off with a timed practice session, followed by the first of the weekend’s two scheduled seven-minute-plus-one-lap races. With a full start gate made up of passionate young riders of 12 different nationalities, it made for some exciting racing. As he did in France, Lucas Bos went fastest in timed practice, ahead of fellow Frenchmen Mathis Negre and Jonas Moutin.

Race one saw plenty of exciting battles as the youngsters took on the fan-favourite MXGP circuit. Fuelled by his race win at round one, it was Jonas Moutin who came out on top on his KTM SX-E 5 for the second time this season after battling with Alexander Bihimann in the early stages of the race. GASGAS MC-E 5 mounted Bihimann ultimately secured second place ahead of Vitus Horseborg, despite the Danish rider piling on the pressure in the final few laps.

Unfortunately, following the first race, a meeting was held with Infront Moto Racing, organisers of the FIM MXGP World Championship, and it was decided that the second race would be cancelled due to track conditions following heavy rain on Saturday.

Racing in front of the packed hillsides of fans in Teutchenthal, the Junior e-Motocross Series provided no shortage of entertainment for fans at the MXGP of Germany.

The first race of the series provided no shortage of entertainment, with some impressive battles happening throughout. Keeping his momentum from timed practice, Lucas Bos took the lead on lap two and maintained it for the rest of the race to secure his first victory.

Race two saw a new victor emerge as Jonas Moutin took the win over Lucas Bos, also on home soil.

Timoteï Cez Continues To Dominate The 2023 Junior e-Motocross Series With Another Double Race Victory In Germany

13.06.2023 News News 2023

Maintaining his perfect season of race wins, France’s Timoteï Cez charged to a stunning pair of victories aboard his GASGAS MC-E 5 at round three of the 2023 Junior e-Motocross Series in Germany. Placing second and keeping the pressure on Cez all weekend long was British racer Austin Edwards (KTM) who climbed onto the overall podium for the first time this year with Asan Quesada (KTM) from Spain rounding out the rostrum in third.

Another full line-up of 40 enthusiastic young riders from across Europe made their way to Teutschenthal in Germany for round three of the 2023 European Junior e-Motocross Series. The technical circuit offered very similar conditions to those seen at the previous round in France, with deep ruts creating a challenging race track. With the track at its smoothest for Saturday morning’s qualifying session, series leader Cez posted the fastest time ahead of Edwards and Quesada.

Leading every lap of race one, Cez rode faultlessly to take his fifth win from five starts only this time, Edwards matched the Frenchman’s pace throughout the seven-minute-plus-one-lap moto. Crossing the line just over one second from victory, Austin thoroughly enjoyed recording his best result of the season so far. The fight for third was equally as close with Quesada successfully fending off a hard-charging Jordan Cadenel (Husqvarna) from France for the final spot on the podium.

The second moto results mirrored race one with Cez taking the win over Edwards while in another close battle for third, KTM SX-E 5 rider Quesada kept Cadenel at bay for the duration of the moto.

The 2023 European Junior e-Motocross Series now heads to Germany for the third stop of the series on the weekend of June 10-11, running alongside the MXGP of Germany at the historic Teuschenthal race track.

Overall, Cez stood on top of the podium and now leads the series by 28 points over the consistent Cadenel with two rounds remaining. Quesada advances from fifth to third following his strong rides in Germany with Camronn Gautier (KTM) and Edwards placed fourth and fifth respectively.

The 2023 European Junior e-Motocross Series concludes on the weekend of July 15-16 with a double header event at the Loket circuit in the Czech Republic. The penultimate event takes place on the Saturday with the fifth and decisive final round taking place on Sunday.

Timoteï Cez: “It’s great to win again. The track was similar to France with all the deep ruts and it was really technical. It was close in the first race. Austin was riding really well and he was right behind me the whole time so I had to ride smart and not make any mistakes. I’ve got a nice lead in the series standings but there are still four races to go. I like the track in Loket and I can’t wait to go there and race next month.”

French Star Timoteï Cez Maintains Winning Ways To Top Second Round of 2023 Junior e-Motocross Series

22.05.2023 News News 2023

Racing in front of his home crowd for round two of the 2023 Junior e-Motocross Series, Timoteï Cez was once again unbeatable aboard his GASGAS MC-E 5 as the young French racer won both races to extend his series lead. Second overall was fellow Frenchman Jordan Cadenel (Husqvarna) with Spaniard Adan Quesada (KTM) stepping onto the overall podium for the first time this year in third.

The deeply rutted and incredibly technical circuit of Villars sous Ecot was the venue for round two of the 2023 European Junior e-Motocross Series. Held two weeks after the successful season-opener in Spain, another full line-up of 40 youngsters made the trip to the east of France for the second round to compete at what was a new venue for the series. Setting the pace around the slightly shortened circuit in qualifying was early points leader Timoteï Cez, ahead of last year’s series runner-up, Austin Edwards (KTM) from Great Britain.

Spanish racer Quesada aboard his KTM SX-E 5 led the way early on in race one ahead of Cez and Cadenel, before Cez found a way by to take the lead on lap two. From there Cez would build up a comfortable margin and go on to take victory from Quesada in second, who secured his best race result of the series so far. Third would go to Cadenel with the top three riders well ahead of the chasing pack.

Race two was much closer at the finish with the top three riders separated by less than four seconds! Leading from the start and looking to take two wins from two races was Cez. Close behind was Cadenel and the fast-starting Edwards with both riders vying for their first race win of the year. Remaining calm at the front and spurred on by his home fans, Cez would ultimately claim his fourth straight race win of the year by the narrowest of margins ahead of Cadenel in second with Edwards in third.

With two race wins, the overall went to Cez who extends his series lead to 14 points over Cadenel. Lucas Bos (GASGAS), who placed third overall in Spain, maintains third in the standings with the top five rounded out by Camronn Gautier (KTM) in fourth and Quesada in fifth.

Timoteï Cez: “It’s been another great weekend! Winning at my home race is really special but it wasn’t easy. Race one was really good as I was able to ride quite comfortably up front but in race two, it was really hard work. It was such a close race with Jordan and Austin and I gave it everything I had to take the win. So far, it’s been a great season and I’m looking forward to round three in Germany.”

Timoteï Cez Dominates Opening Round of the 2023 Junior e-Motocross Series in Spain

09.05.2023 News News 2023

Reigning Junior e-Motocross Series Champion Timoteï Cez has raced to a stunning pair of moto wins at round one of the 2023 series to claim overall victory in Spain. The young French rider, competing on a GASGAS MC-E 5 for his title defence, was simply unstoppable on Spanish soil and began the new championship with a winning start. Rounding out the podium were fellow French racers Jordan Cadenel (GASGAS) in second with Lucas Bos (KTM) in third.

The technical intu Xanadú circuit in Spain played host to round one of the 2023 European Junior e-Motocross Series. A full line-up of 40 young riders from across the world made the trip to the season-opener and their weekend began with a qualifying session on Saturday morning to decide the starting order for the two seven-minute-plus-one-lap races. Posting a lap time almost five seconds faster than his closest competition, Timoteï Cez would lead the enthusiastic young riders to the line in both motos.

Leading from start to finish, Cez dominated race one to win by a staggering 46 seconds and add 25 points to his series tally. Behind the 2022 champion, Cadenel completed lap one in seventh before charging forwards and moving into second on the penultimate lap to claim his hard-fought runner-up finish. Another rider on the move in moto one was Bos on his KTM SX-E 5. Starting from outside the top 10, the French racer made two passes on the final lap to secure third.

In race two, Cez matched his moto one result, this time with a margin of victory of 20 seconds. With his nearest rivals from race one, Cadenel and Bos, rounding the first turn up front, they did all they could to stay with the fast-starting Frenchman. As they worked their way past another rising French star, Camronn Gautier, who held second until the halfway point of the race, the duo gave it everything they had but would ultimately equal their moto one results with Cadenel second and Bos in third.

With the dust now settled on an exciting opening round, the 2023 European Junior e-Motocross Series continues in two weeks’ time at the MXGP of France on May 20-21. With French riders filling the top four spots in the series standings, Cez, Cadenel, Bos, and Gautier will be eager and excited to race in front of their home crowd at the hillside circuit of Villars sous Ecot.

Timoteï Cez: “It’s amazing to start the new season with a win! The race on Saturday was really good and the track was quite technical. I got a great start and just stayed out of trouble and won with a nice margin. The second race was good as well and to win the overall is amazing. I had great starts in both races, which is really important. Up next is my home GP in France so I’m looking forward to that one!”

Record Breaking 2022 European Junior e-Motocross Series Signs Off in Czech Republic with Timoteï Cez Crowned Champion!

04.08.2022 News

LOKET (Czech Republic) 17 July 2022 – Young Frenchman Timoteï Cez has today been crowned the 2022 European Junior e-Motocross Series winner in the Czech Republic after completing a remarkable season in which he claimed victory at three of the five rounds held aboard his KTM SX-E 5. Great Britain’s Austin Edwards, victor of the penultimate round at the Loket circuit placed second, with Austria’s Elias Eder claiming the series bronze medal.

With the final round broadcast live for free on MXGP-TV.com, viewers from around the world were treated to history being made as a record line-up of 40 young racers filled the start gate and competed on a full length MXGP circuit for the very first time. Attracting riders from 16 nationalities including Cambeul Du preez from South Africa, and with the top two riders ahead of the trip to Loket separated by a single point, the atmosphere at the series finale was electric.

Coming into round four, Great Britain’s Cameron Berry held a slender one-point advantage over Timoteï Cez. Frustratingly for Berry, a challenging day of racing at the penultimate round saw the Brit place 12^th overall as Cez delivered a commanding double victory and would enter the final round with a substantial 29-point lead. Completing the overall podium was GASGAS MC-E 5 mounted John Slade in second, with the super-consistent Logan Liberal Rodas in third.

Needing to score just 22 points at the fifth and final round to secure the title, Cez just missed out on claiming series victory with a race to spare as he came home fifth in moto one. The race win went to Austin Edwards who secured his first race triumph of the season with a comfortable lead over Elias Eder in second. Logan Liberal Rodas rounded out the podium in third.

Signing off the season with a true champion’s performance, Cez charged to his sixth race win of the year and with it, became the 2022 European Junior e-Motocross Series winner. Edwards was just two seconds adrift at the finish line in second, claiming overall victory on the day and second in the series, with Logan Liberal Rodas once again placing third for third overall. Elias Eder secured third in the final standings.

With the European Junior e-Motocross Series going from strength to strength throughout 2022 and gaining in popularity with every passing round, the second edition of the series was undoubtedly another huge success. With the season now complete, all races from the 2022 series are now available to stream for free on MXGP-TV.com with a simple sign-up required to access all of this year’s exciting racing action.

Timoteï Cez – 2022 European Junior e-Motocross Series Winner: “I can’t believe it! It’s amazing to win this series and it’s been so much fun. It was close coming into the final weekend but by winning both races on Saturday, that took some of the pressure off for Sunday. Racing on a full MXGP track this weekend was so cool and I really like hardpack tracks so I really enjoyed it. Thanks to my parents and sponsors. It has been a great year and I’m so happy to have won.

David Luongo, Infront Moto Racing CEO: “We are very proud on how the second season of the Junior e-Motocross series went. The participation of riders has been great especially during the last two rounds in Czech Republic where they could enjoy the full MXGP Track in front of thousands of fans cheering for them. For the very first time the series was also aired on MXGP-TV and for us it was a great pleasure to have the Junior e-Motocross riders LIVE on our platform as today they could really feel the same experience as the MXGP riders. I want to thank KTM AG for their collaboration”.

Federico Valentini – Vice President Global Motorcycle Marketing: “With the second edition of the European Junior e-Motocross Series now complete, we can look back on what has been another successful season. It has been a really exciting project from the very beginning and now that we have completed year two, there is a clear sense of positivity surrounding this series. The level of interest in what we’ve created has been building with each passing round and we have seen more and more riders enter, with a full line-up of 40 riders competing at the final two rounds. What we have delivered this season has been incredible, especially with the fourth and fifth rounds taking place on a full MXGP circuit for the very first time. This fact alone shows just how capable and developed these e-powered motorcycles are. Another first this season was that the final round was shown live on MXGP-TV for free, taking the series into the homes of a truly global audience and showcasing e-powered motorsports in such a positive way. Together with Infront Moto Racing we have created this series and the future of motocross looks very promising with our shared passion and vision. Finally, I must congratulate Timoteï Cez on his success. The competition this season was really close and he rode with style and composure beyond his years. I would like to thank each and every rider who competed this season, as well as their supportive families, who have given everyone a glimpse into the future of motorsports.”

Record Number of Riders Line Up for Round Three of the European Junior e-Motocross Series

20.06.2022 News news-2022

Gaining in popularity with every passing round, the third stop of the European Junior e-Motocross Series attracted a record line-up or 35 riders from 13 countries. The strong entry delivered close racing throughout both races around the Teutschenthal circuit in Germany with the overall victory secured by young French racer Timoteï Cez. Joining Cez on the rostrum were a pair of British racers, Austin Edwards in second with Cameron Berry in third.

Racing to victory at round one of the European Junior e-Motocross Series just two weeks ago in Spain, Timoteï Cez endured a tough second round at home in France to place seventh overall. Eager to put his title aspirations back on track in Germany the youngster was flawless all weekend. Posting the fastest time in qualifying, he then stormed to victory in both races to secure his second overall win of the series.

In the opening race, Cez lead from start to finish aboard his KTM SX-E 5 while an intense battle for the remaining spots on the podium unfolded behind him. Round two overall runner-up Austin Edwards was on the move throughout the seven minute plus one lap race, advancing from fourth on lap one to make the pass for the runner-up position on the final lap. Spaniard Logan Liberal Rodas chased Edwards across finish line for third with current series leader, Berry, who crashed twice, in sixth.

Race two saw Cez once again show his competition the fast way around the hardpack circuit, claiming another impressive victory and securing maximum points. Capitalising on their strong starts, Berry, Austria’s Elias Eder, and Edwards quickly found themselves in a race-long fight for a place on the podium. It was Berry who would come out on top of the tussle to finish as runner-up, with Eder third and Edwards fourth. At the finish line, the trio were separated by just three seconds in what was a truly dramatic end to the second race in Germany.

At the conclusion of an exciting third round, Berry retains the European Junior e-Motocross Series lead by just a single point over Cez, while the super-consistent Edwards advances to third. Now, with only two rounds to go and 100 points still up for grabs, the series will conclude with a double header event at the MXGP of Czech Republic on July 16-17.

Timoteï Cez: “My weekend went really well here in Germany. I must thank my parents and all of my sponsors. It was just a perfect weekend for me. I had good starts in both races, which helped a lot, and I love this kind of track with it being hardpack and all the beautiful ruts. It’s great to win again and I’m excited for the final two rounds next month.”

Cameron Berry: “The first moto wasn’t so good as I crashed twice but I was able to finish sixth and score some good points. Race two was much better for me by finishing second and I wasn’t too far from the leader, so I was much happier with that one. I’m in a good position with the series lead going into the final two rounds so I’m happy and excited for the trip to Loket.”

British Riders Shine in France at Challenging European Junior e-Motocross Series Round Two

07.06.2022 News news-2022

ERNEE (France) – 5 June 2022 – The 2022 European Junior e-Motocross Series continued in France this weekend where British racer Cameron Berry claimed a hard-fought overall victory at round two. Mastering the muddy conditions in race one to take his first win of the season, the KTM SX-E 5 rider, who was celebrating his birthday in France, placed fourth in race two to secure the top spot on the podium and move into the series lead. Joining Berry on the rostrum was fellow Brit Austin Edwards together with French rider Noé Methais in third.

Taking place at the historical hillside circuit of Ernée in north-west France, round two of the 2022 European Junior e-Motocross Series tested the ability of each young rider and their e-powered machinery. Adding to the challenge of the iconic track were the weather conditions on Saturday, which postponed race one until Sunday morning, with race two taking place in the afternoon in front of the largest crowd to ever witness the pioneering series.

Shortly after the gate dropped for race one, a battle at the front quickly emerged between home favourite Noé Methais and battling Brits Cameron Berry and Austin Edwards. Leading the way for three laps, Methais would ultimately finish third in the race as Berry and Edwards advanced on the final lap with Cameron going on to claim victory from Austin. Last weekend’s overall winner, France’s Timoteï Cez, would place 19th aboard his KTM.

Race two was all about the top three overall from round one in Spain. From the start, Austria’s Elias Eder was never headed throughout the seven-minute-plus-one-lap race as he charged to a well-deserved win for his second victory this season. Early series leader, Timoteï Cez, would place second ahead of Spain’s Logan Liberal Rodas in third, who was chased across the finish line by race one winner Berry, in fourth.

After two rounds of European Junior e-Motocross Series action, it’s round two winner Berry who now leads the series with a healthy 14-point margin. Behind the Brit, the next five riders are separated by just eight points and led by round one winner, Cez, in second, with Eder just one point adrift in third.

The 2022 European Junior e-Motocross Series continues with round three next weekend in Germany on June 11-12.

Cameron Berry: “It feels really good to win here in France and to be leading the series now is amazing! The first race was really muddy and difficult, but I still enjoyed it and winning that one was awesome. The second race was good too. I’m really happy with today and I’m looking forward to Germany next weekend.”
