The BTS Racing team achieved a podium finish with Oriol Oliver in the first round of the Dutch Masters of Motocross in Harfsen. Oriol completed two consistent motos and secured third place in the overall standings.

With a fourth-fastest time in his group during qualifying, Oliver ensured a good starting position for both motos. In both the first and second motos, Oliver had a decent start. In the first moto, he emerged from the first lap in seventh place and worked his way forward throughout the race. Mid-race, he moved into fourth place and held onto it until the finish.

In the second moto, he recovered from ninth place to finish in fourth. This earned him a solid podium finish, and he ended the day in third overall.

It was not Wesly Dieudonne’s day in Harfsen. After qualifying tenth in his group, he was unable to score points in the motos, making it a race to quickly forget.

Oriol Oliver of BTS Racing faced a tough third round of the MX2 World Championship at the French Grand Prix in St. Jean d’Angely. Oliver struggled to find his rhythm on the tricky track, ultimately finishing in twelfth place in the day’s standings.

The third round of the World Championship was held at the legendary St. Jean d’Angely circuit in France. The track was well-prepared, with only a few minor adjustments. However, rainfall created slippery and challenging conditions. Oliver had difficulty finding a good flow on the track. Despite this, he pushed hard and managed to set the sixteenth-fastest time in Saturday’s qualifying and finished the qualification heat in thirteenth.

Oliver and the team did everything they could to improve their feeling on the track, but things didn’t go smoothly during Sunday’s races either. Nevertheless, Oliver persevered and secured a twelfth and thirteenth-place finish in the heats.

In the day’s overall standings, Oliver finished in twelfth place and is now in thirteenth in the overall championship standings.

Next Sunday, BTS Racing will line up for the first round of the Dutch Masters of Motocross in Harfsen, and the following weekend, the next Grand Prix will take place in Riola Sardo, Sardinia.

Jens Walvoort of BTS Racing sustained two broken neck vertebrae during a training session in the week leading up to the Spanish Grand Prix.

Walvoort tried to race in Spain but the pain was too intense, causing him to decide not to participate further after the free practice session.

This week, Walvoort underwent additional tests, which revealed that he has fractured the C6 and C7 neck vertebrae.

Due to this injury, Walvoort will be out of action for the time being!
