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. Saturday saw riders complete a timed practice session and the first of two seven-minute-plus-one-lap races, with the second race contested on Sunday morning.
Heading into the final round with a healthy 24-point lead in the series standings, France’s Lucas Bos made his intentions clear from the off, going fastest in timed practice on his KTM SX-E 5. 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. Taking to the final step of the podium was Frenchman Mathis Negre who earned a well-deserved third place overall.
The Junior e-Motocross Series saw huge success in 2024, with a packed start gate every round and huge crowds drawn to watch each race. Taking on four different MXGP tracks, the series showcased the impressive capability of the KTM, GASGAS, and Husqvarna machines while also inspiring the younger generation of riders.
