Norman KTM Factory Rookies once again made a strong impression during the second round of the EMX125 Championship in Switzerland. With a convincing victory for Ricardo Bauer and Moritz Ernecker holding on to the red plate, it was an extremely successful weekend for the team.
The team already showed its speed in time practice. Ricardo Bauer set the third fastest time in his group, while Moritz Ernecker topped his group with the fastest lap.
In the first race on Saturday afternoon, Bauer left no doubt about his form. The Austrian took the holeshot and led from start to finish, securing a dominant win.
He also got off to a strong start in the second race, but conditions were very difficult due to the mud. Despite a few mistakes, he managed to finish in second place, which earned him his first overall victory in the EMX125 class. This result also moves him up to second place in the championship standings.
Moritz Ernecker once again delivered a strong and consistent performance. In the first race, he struggled to find his rhythm but still managed to secure second place.
In the second race, he was battling for third position. Unfortunately, a mistake in the closing stages dropped him back to seventh place. Nevertheless, his performance was enough to finish third overall.
With this result, Ernecker retains the lead in the EMX125 Championship and keeps hold of the red plate.
