Talented youngster Timoteï Cez has successfully retained his European Junior e-Motocross Series title from 2022 after dominating all five rounds in the 2023 term. With victory in all 10 races, the GASGAS MC-E 5 rider was simply unstoppable and claimed the series crown after winning moto one at the fifth and final round held today in Loket, Czech Republic. Second overall in the series went to the consistent Jordan Cadenel (Husqvarna) from France, with Spain’s Adan Quesada (KTM) securing third.
With 40 riders representing 11 nationalities traveling to the Czech Republic for the season-ending, double-header event in Loket, there was a truly international line-up contesting the final two events on the 2023 calendar.
Arriving at the penultimate round with a healthy 28-point lead, Timoteï Cez was to maintain his winning ways with his fourth double victory of the 2023 series. The GASGAS MC-E 5 racer’s faultless performance extended his lead to 34 points over Jordan Cadenel who secured second overall after claiming a pair of runner-up finishes on the day. Third overall went to the KTM SX-E 5 mounted Lucas Bos after he placed fourth in race one and third in race two.
Heading into the final round needing just nine points to claim his second European Junior e-Motocross Series title, a 12th place finish or better would have been enough for Cez to secure back-to-back series wins. Following a perfect start, the young Frenchman led every lap to win and become a worthy champion for a second time.
Chasing Timoteï home once again was Cadenel in second with Bos in third. With the title decided, Cez would sign off the 2023 series with a 10th race victory but only by the narrowest of margins. The fast-starting Austin Edwards (KTM) from Great Britain chased the champion across the line with less than a second separating the two young racers with Cadenel finishing 36 seconds adrift in third.
Behind two-time champion Timoteï Cez in the final standings was Jordan Cadenel in second with Adan Quesada, who placed fifth overall at the final round, in third.
With the third edition of the European Junior e-Motocross Series now complete, the 2023 term was undoubtedly the most popular and competitive yet with future racing stars battling for position throughout the season. All the action from each of the five rounds is now available to stream online through MXGP-TV.com for riders, parents, and guardians to watch and relive every race in full.
Timoteï Cez – 2023 European Junior e-Motocross Series Winner: “I can’t believe I’m a two-time champion! Winning the European Junior e-Motocross Series is amazing, and it’s been a really fun year. It was nice to win with a race to go but that final race turned out to be a really close one. Austin Edwards was riding great today and it was the closest race of the season and definitely the most exciting. To win every race this year is incredible, my bike was perfect all year, and I couldn’t have done it without my parents and sponsors.”
