The European Championship semi-finals bring together the best young motocross riders from the Northern Europe Zone (NEZ) and Central Europe Zone in the MX65 and MX85 classes. Only the top 25 from each zone qualify to compete, and the main prize is a spot in the grand final, traditionally held at the Loket track in the Czech Republic.

Latvia will be represented by six riders in the MX65 class: Valters Jurčenko, Daniils Hohlovs, Bruno Geitus, Ralfs Saldābols, Roberts Vanags, and Roberts Vinters. In the MX85 class, the Latvian delegation includes Rūdolfs Spila, Ričards Jurčenko, Patriks Cīrulis, Martins Cīrulis, and Magnuss Misiņš.

A decisive weekend also awaits Patrīcija Bērziņa, who has shown impressive speed this season. Before the final European Championship round, she holds second place overall in the 125cc class and will fight for the gold medal. In the Open class, Bērziņa is currently fourth, with a strong chance to break into the top three.

Motocross fans are encouraged to follow the races and support the Latvian athletes.
