“You can look at the situation like it’s a baby” Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Team Owner Hans Corvers said, “first he needs to crawl, then he needs to walk and then he runs. Right now, we’re walking.”
While Tim & his teammate MAXIME RENAUX worked through some challenges, the FASTEST FEMALE on the planet LOTTE VAN DRUNEN embraced the challenge of racing against the best 250cc riders in the world. Lining up in MX2, as a part of her preparation for the 2026 FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship, that will start in May, the reigning WMX champ went bar-to-bar against the MEN in #MX2 and managed to score 1 championship point!
Meanwhile, the #MXGP of Andalucia in Almonte, Spain also played host to the opening round of the European Motocross Championships, EMX250 & EMX125. VHR Yamaha Official EMX250’s rookie sensation MANO FAURE impressed on debut. Having just stepped up from the GYTR kitted YZ125 to a GYTR kitted YZ250F, the young Frenchman surprised with a stellar podium finish. At the same time, the rider that took Mano’s seat under the MJC Yamaha Official EMX125 team, another young Frenchman, SLENY GOYER was equally impressive as he went 2-2 for second overall.
