Vysoke Myto 27 September – The 2025 Trophy of Nations kicked off at the beautiful track of Vysoke Mytoè where teams battled it out trying to reach the best place for tomorrow’s race. The fastest Team in the S1oN was Team Italy courtesy of a first and second place taken in the qualifying while in the Junior class the best result was achieved by Team France.
Qualifying race – Group Rider 1
The star of the first group was home rider, Czech Milan Sitniansky who was the fastest rider on track. The circuit of Vysoke Myto has no secrets for Milan who qualified in front of two stars like Marc Reiner Schmidt and Steve Bonnal.
At the start, French Bonnal took the lead in the first corner, but his leadership only lasted for a few corners when the rider was overtaken by Marc Reiner Schmidt. Bonnal tried to chase the German rival but made a mistake in the off-road losing second place and leaving it to Milan Sitniansky. The latter worked his way up thanks to a solid race pace moving closer to Schmidt and eventually overtaking him in the second part of the off-road section. Schmidt had to watch his back from Bonnal who moved closer to his rival after the mistake he made but could not attack him and eventually qualified third. Fabrizio Bartolini was the protagonist of a solid recovery after a bad start and finished fourth thanks to an excellent rhythm.
