Hosting rounds three and four of the 2024 Junior e-Motocross Series, the hard-pack circuit in Loket, Czech Republic, was perfect for the 40 youngsters lining up to compete. Both days saw riders take on a timed practice session, followed by two seven-minute-plus-one-lap-races. In the first timed practice session of the weekend, it was Austria’s Ryan Gabriel who topped the timesheets on his Husqvarna EE 5, with Alexander Bihimann and Lucas Bos coming in second and third.

Saturday’s first race saw Alexander Bihimann dominate, leading the whole race to come out on top aboard his GASGAS MC-E 5. Securing his best result of the series so far, it was Belgium’s Roan Calado Reyes who took second place on the last lap after lying in third for the first two laps. 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. Taking the lead on the second lap, the French youngster then maintained it for the rest of the race to secure his spot on the top of the podium, taking the overall round three win at the same time. Just three seconds behind Bos was fellow Frenchman Mathis Negre in second, with Austria’s Raphael Edlinger in third.

From a British perspective Kolbe Red Sole & Leo Golding were tied on points for 21st, both having a 17th position and a non points scoring ride. Reggie Nelson would end the day in 36th while Lennox Turvey was 38th.

Lucas Bos: “I’m so happy to have won on Saturday, and it’s really exciting that I am leading the championship. I’m going to work really hard before Switzerland so hopefully I can win the series there!”
