Jett Lawrence & Suzuki Take Adac Mx Lead

Jett Lawrence 1-2 - 1st

Team Suzuki Germany rider Jett Lawrence raced to victory and the championship lead of the German ADAC MX Youngster Cup at Gaildorf=14px.

The sixth round of the series took place with great weather conditions in Gaildorf, with blue sky and exciting races entertaining around 18,000 spectators.

The 15-year-old Australian proved his talent on Saturday with the second fastest lap-time in qualification aboard his RM-Z250. In Sunday’s first race, he showed his impressive skills; after a good start, Lawrence took the lead in the second lap and taught all his competitors a lesson, performing his laps perfectly that saw him win the race by more-than 24 seconds.
Said Lawrence: “It was like a practice session. I had a good start so I was able to grab the lead. Then I just concentrated on myself. I could just ride my pace which made me win safely.”

The second race’s start didn’t go that well though. It took Lawrence a few laps until he reached second position. For the rest of the race he was in a tight fight with Dylan Walsh. The two riders amazed the spectators more than once: Lawrence was able to grab the lead a couple times but always had to give-up on the attacks of the older and physically-superior opponent.
“My speed was good and I had a nice and hard fight with Dylan,” Lawrence explained. “We even touched in the air and it was hard to prevent a crash. Dylan was very determined to defend his lead. It was a hard but a fair fight. I won the daily results and now I’m leading the championship with a 13-points gap. So it was a fantastic day for us!“

The last race of this year’s ADAC MX Masters series takes place on 22nd and 23rd of September in Holzgerlingen.
