MX Masters: Talvik remained competitive throughout the weekend

The MX Masters class featured two Estonian riders: Jörgen-Matthias Talvik and Gert Krestinov. In qualifying, Talvik showed good speed, posting the fifth-fastest lap time, while Krestinov earned 14th place.

Unfortunately, the race was halted with a red flag five minutes before the finish, leaving the Estonian with fourth place. The second race went worse—he had a poor start and crashed on the third lap, finishing 14th. However, in the third race Talvik was even leading, holding first place for a considerable time. Eventually, Jere Haavisto and Roan van de Moosdijk from the Netherlands passed him, but Talvik still crossed the line fourth.

In the round summary, Talvik scored 43 points and earned sixth place. Krestinov finished 19th with 11 points.

In the second race he also moved quickly to fifth place, but a crash temporarily dropped him to 12th, finishing eighth at the line.
