Janis Reisulis Finishes Fourth in Teutschenthal

Summary By: eMotoX
Janis Reisulis delivered a standout performance at the seventh round of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Teutschenthal, Germany, securing fourth place overall—his best Grand Prix finish to date. The Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 rider maintained strong form following his recent success in France, demonstrating consistency and skill on a challenging, rain-soaked circuit. Despite tough conditions, Reisulis managed to finish second in the qualifying race, setting himself up for a favourable gate pick on race day. The race itself proved demanding, with heavy rain leaving the track slippery and difficult to navigate. Janis quickly established himself in the top five during both motos, engaging in a close battle with competitors such as Camden McLellan. He finished fourth in the opening moto and fifth in the second, narrowly missing out on a podium place by a single point. Meanwhile, his brother and teammate Karlis Reisulis showed promising speed but was hampered by two crashes, ultimately finishing tenth overall and collecting valuable championship points. Both riders reflected on their performances with a focus on learning and improvement ahead of the next round. Janis expressed some disappointment at just missing the podium but highlighted the importance of consistency and staying upright in difficult conditions. Karlis acknowledged his struggles with crashes but remained optimistic about the positives to carry forward. The brothers now turn their attention to their home Grand Prix at the Kegums circuit in Latvia, where they expect strong support from local fans. The upcoming eighth round offers an opportunity for the Reisulis brothers to build on their recent form and capitalise on the momentum gained in Germany. With the championship progressing into its second half, maintaining consistency and avoiding mistakes will be crucial for their aspirations. Both riders appear motivated to deliver strong results on home soil, where familiarity with the sandy track and enthusiastic crowds could provide an added boost.
