Round six of the FIM Europe EMX250 European Championship in Lugo delivered a weekend of intense racing, heavy conditions, and a clear statement from red plate holder Janis Martins Reisulis. The Team VHR VRT Yamaha Official rider was in a league of his own, executing a flawless 1-1 performance that saw him lead every lap of both races, extending his championship advantage in emphatic fashion.

From Saturday’s red-flagged restart to Sunday’s rain-soaked showdown, the young Latvian rose above the chaos while several title hopefuls battled misfortune, penalties, and the elements. Ultimately, it was Cat Moto Bauerschmidt Husqvarna’s Nico Greutmann (6-2) and JM Honda Racing’s Noel Zanocz (5-3) who joined Reisulis on the overall podium after two action-packed races that reshuffled the title fight.
Reisulis’ double win in Lugo tightens his grip on the red plate with a dominant 50-point haul. Greutmann’s performance vaults him to sixth in the standings, while Zanocz and Doensen solidify their place among the lead contenders. Mancini’s heartbreak in Race 2 could prove costly in what remains a tightly contested championship race.
