Vysoké Mýto – July 12 – In the S2 class, an excellent performance for Leonardo Lapadula (Team 11) who, thanks to a first and a second place, takes home the victory ahead of Yevsevii Kovalov (Husqvarna) and Nathan Terraneo (Yamaha); in the SM Junior, total dominance for David Zsolt Bereczki (Husqvarna).
S2 Race 1
Leonardo Lapadula (Team 11), with a textbook start, shoots into the lead of the S2 group, followed closely by Yevsevii Kovalov (Husqvarna), who was unable to exploit his pole position. Nathan Terraneo (Yamaha), starting from third place, did not have a good start and lost two positions; ahead of him, a great sprint from Djamal Juste Watt (Insane Parts Suzuki) and Noah Champagne (TSV Racing). At the front of the race, Lapadula defended himself in the opening laps against attacks from Kovalov, but as the laps went by, the Italian opened up a small lead. In trying to recover, Kovalov made a mistake that saw him drop to fifth position, a place he would also hold at the checkered flag. Great three-way battle for second place, which was taken by Juste Watt in second and Champagne in third.

S2 Race 2
In this second moto, Yevsevii Kovalov does not make a mistake at the start and takes the lead ahead of everyone at the first corner; Leonardo Lapadula immediately sets off in second position in pursuit of the leader. At the first corner, a crash involves three key players from the first moto: Nathan Terraneo, Djamal Juste Watt, and Noah Champagne. Kovalov managed to open up a small gap in the opening laps, but Lapadula did not give up and seemed able to catch him; as the race progressed, he closed back in on his rival, but in the final laps, due to a few too many mistakes, he settled for second position. Nathan Terraneo staged a massive comeback fueled by fast laps and overtakes, finishing in third place. Yevsevii Kovalov closes the second moto victoriously, earning the right to step onto the second tier of the podium; Leonardo Lapadula, second at the finish line, nevertheless won the overall race, with Nathan Terraneo completing the podium.
