Van Venrooy KTM Racing Shows Progress During MXGP of Latvia

Van Venrooy KTM Racing demonstrated encouraging progress across multiple classes at the MXGP of Latvia in Kegums, with notable performances from riders Rick Elzinga, Noel Zanocz, and Áron Katona. Elzinga, competing in his second Grand Prix for the team, showed steady improvement despite a crash in the first moto that forced him to retire. He managed to finish fifteenth in the second moto, earning valuable World Championship points and signalling a positive trajectory as he continues to adapt to his KTM. In the MX2 category, Noel Zanocz delivered a consistent performance, starting with the eleventh fastest time in practice and securing fourteenth overall after two competitive motos. Zanocz improved his position in both races, moving from mid-pack starts to finish twelfth and thirteenth respectively, demonstrating resilience and steady pace throughout the weekend. His results reflect a solid foundation on which the Hungarian rider can build as the season progresses. Áron Katona’s weekend in the EMX250 class was marked by contrasting fortunes between the two motos. After a challenging first race, where a mistake dropped him back but he fought to regain positions, Katona bounced back strongly in the second moto. He executed several impressive overtakes to claim a top-ten finish, highlighting both his skill and determination. Katona expressed satisfaction with the weekend’s progress, emphasising the importance of learning and adapting through the challenges faced. The overall performances across all three classes suggest that Van Venrooy KTM Racing is making meaningful strides in their development and competitiveness. Riders and team alike appear focused on refining details and building momentum as they prepare for upcoming rounds. The positive results in Latvia provide a solid platform for further growth and potential success in the remainder of the season.
