PIETRAMURATA (Trentino) 17 April 2023 – The second round of the EMX125 presented by FMF Racing Championships in Pietramurata came to an end. What a weekend for both classes as we witnessed some quality and skilful riding.

In EMX125 presented by FMF Racing, MJC Yamaha Official EMX125’s Janis Martin Reisulis completely dominated the round in Trentino ahead of Fantic Factory Team Maddii riders Maximilian Werner second and Elias Escandell third.

In Race 1 on Saturday, Maximilian Ernecker got the best start but MJC Yamaha Team’s Janis Martin Reisulis took the lead very early on after few turns and never gave it up. Reisulis went on to leader from start to finish increasing the gap with Fantic Maddii Factory Racing‘s Maximilian Werner to 16 seconds Werner also overtook Ernecker quickly in the first lap to get 2nd until the end although he had to defend on Ernecker the whole race. In the end he finished 2^nd and Ernecker 3^rd.

Gyan Doensen from WZ Racing Team and Fantic Factory Team Maddii’s Elias Escandell had a solid race as they quickly got to 4^th and 5^th respectively on lap 1. They kept their position until the end as they paced through the race to no get under threat.

Vitezslav Marek showed his determination as he quickly went up from 12^th on lap 1 to 6^th on lap 6. He managed to stay 6^th until the end. Francisco Garcia had a solid ride too as he stayed in the top 10 throughout the race picking up 2 positions from 9^th on lap 1 to 7^th in then end.

Mads Fredsoe picked up his usual pace after an average start where he found himself 13^th and overtook consistently lap after lap. His last move was onto Salvador Perez for 8^th on lap 10 and remain 8^th until the end. Perez finished 12^th in the end although he rode for most of the race within the top 10.

The most impressive comeback was the one from Alfio Pulvirenti who started poorly and saw himself in 19^th place on lap 1. However, the Italian is not one to shy away from a strong ride. He overtook plenty of riders as he moved up to 11^th with one lap to go. He eventually overtook successively August Frisk and JK Racing Yamaha’s Nicola Salvini to finish 9^th. Salvini also displayed some heroic move as he went from 22^nd on lap 1 to finish 10^th. Frisk would settle for 11^th showing some great willpower too after a bad start.

Red Plate holder 737 Performers GASGAS’s Mathis Valin crashed early and could only moved up to 18^th in the end.

In race 2, it was this time Escandell who had the best start but as always, Reisulis was not far in 2^nd after few turns. Reisulis pounced early to take the lead and never give it up. Reisulis was a head above throughout the weekend as he comfortably went 1-1. Escandell behind him also showed good control as he stayed easily 2^nd until the end.

A great battle for the 3^rd position between Werner 3^rd from lap 1 and Alban Alm happened in the end of the race. Alm came from behind as he found himself in 7^th position on lap 1 to then quickly overtake Doensen for 6^th, then Simone Mannini (16^th in the end) for 5^th on lap 3. He continued on his pace to overtake Frisk on lap 6 for 4^th. Finally, Alm got to Werner and eventually passed him with 2 laps to go. Alm finished 3^rd while Werner settled for 4^th in the end.

Frisk would finish 6^th in the end as he got overtaken on the last lap by Valin. Valin made a great comeback as he went from 11^th on lap 1 to get to 5^th in the end. Unfortunately, it was not enough to keep the Red Plate.

Doensen also made a decent run in race 2 as he went from 6^th on lap 1 to show some consistency to finally finish 7^th. Behind him Marek moved up from 10^th on lap 1 to 8^th in the end and even finding himself to 7^th place between lap 5 and 12. Mads Fredsoe made some nice passes early in the race to get from 12^th to settle in 9^th on lap 5 and stayed there until the end. Noel Zanocz managed to get to 10^th after an decent start that placed him 13^th on lap 1.

In the end, Janis Martin Reisulis won and dominated the round of Trentino with a perfect 1-1, taking the Red Plate along the way. Maximilian Werner finished second and Elias Escandell third.

Janis Martin Reisulis: “In the first laps I was going 110% trying to make a gap to get a good race. I hope I can ride like this every week. I am very happy today and I want to thank everyone around me who worked hard too.”
