EMX Quad European Championship: Mclernon takes GP win, as Walker puts one hand on 2024 European Championship The fourth round of the EMX Quad European Championship at Tor Motocrossowy Gdansk, Poland, delivered another intense and competitive racing mixed with tough conditions for all the European riders. Race 1 Roaring from the gate and throwing it sideways to block the path for any challengers, Patrick Turrini stormed into an early race lead, claiming the holeshot, ahead of Mark Mclernon and Marcus Thomsen, with the leader of the championship, Harry Walker, nipping at the heels. A seemingly impatient Harry Walker would look to place his Yamaha in any gap that opened in front of him and, in some cases, attempted to prize open any potential gap that would see him move further up the order. Coming into this weekend, Manfred Zienecker was second in the championship, and this is a position he

EMX Quad European Championship: Turrini turns fortunes around in condensed Sunday schedule Full Sunday schedule for the EMX Quad European Championship for its third round of the season, raced in Kramolin, in the Czech Republic. Following a night of heavy rain off the back of previous wet weather during the week, the decision was made to abort all track activity for Saturday and run all the sessions on Sunday with a short qualifying and the championship races. Race 1 The threat of poor weather still loomed overhead, however, it held out for the first race of the weekend as 23 quadcross competitors took to the gate, with Turrini leading the charge from the front which would be a lead which he would not relinquish throughout the 25 minutes + 2 laps opening race. It was great to see Turrini turn his fortunes around after a dismal Heerde, and would put

EMX Quad European Championship: Turrini takes the red plate The EMX Quad European Championship was back to action in Heerde, in The Netherlands, for the second round of the season. Qualifying Race The bellow of a full grid of 4-stroke quad machinery reverberated around the woods as the gate dropped, and it was the fastest qualifier, Karl Robin Rillo, who raced into the lead to take the holeshot ahead of Harry Walker, with hard-charging home heroes Mike van Grinsven and Joe Maessen looking to impress in front of the supporting fans. Veldman completed the opening lap in 6th position, however, the big news at the completion of lap 1 was that the championship leader of Patrick Turrini was languishing outside of the top 10 – plenty of work ahead for the reigning champion. Rillo certainly had the hammer down as he had his eyes set on increasing his advantage over

EMX Quad European Championship: Turrini takes the red plate The EMX Quad European Championship was back in action in Alqueidão, Portugal, for round one of the 2024 season. Qualifying Race The heat had not wavered between the practice and qualifying race session, however, it was evident that the close nature of the riders’ lap times would certainly be raising the temperature. 21 riders lined up on the gate to contest the opening qualifying race of the season, and as the gate dropped the lead of the race was highly contested, however, after the initial scraps for track position had calmed down, only slightly, it was Harry Walker who led the charge ahead of Manfred Zienecker and Patrick Turrini. The second position was short-lived for the German as Turrini found his way through and set about piling the pressure on Walker. While the leading duo established their lead, Karlis Neija had
