Brumann puts more points on the board in Latvia

The iXS hostettler Yamaha squad travelled north to Kegums, Latvia, for round six of the 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship. Kevin Brumann was alone beneath the 'blue' awning – Valentin Guillod was sidelined with a sickness that stopped him from making his second Grand Prix appearance of the current term.

Rain battered the Latvian facility in the hours prior to the motos on Sunday, but Brumann was not deterred and eager to secure a solid haul of points in the slop. The first MX2 moto on Sunday, which took place when the rain was at its worst, was an eventful affair. Brumann battled between fourteenth and eighteenth the whole time – he swapped positions with those around him before hitting the finish line in fifteenth place. It was the fourth time this year that he has ventured into the top fifteen in a moto!

Brumann was on for more points in the second MX2 moto, as he equipped himself well when the track was at its roughest. The power within the YZ250F played its part too! An untimely mistake just laps from the end cost him dearly though, as he had to settle for twenty-second at the chequered flag. A 15-22 scorecard put him in nineteenth overall at the Grand Prix of Latvia. '87' is eighteenth in the championship standings after round six of twenty.
 
iXS hostettler Yamaha will turn attention to the hard-pack track of Maggiora, Italy, now. The historic venue is set to host round seven of the 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship on May 07/08.
 
Kevin Brumann: "There is not a lot to say about my weekend. I was struggling all weekend and did not get in to my zone. I finished fifteenth and twenty-first. I know what I have to work on and that's what I am going to do."
