ROUND #3 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MX2 – ROUND #2 EUROPEAN EMX125

EMX125 RED TABLE MANNINI!

Saint Jean D’Angely, 22/23 March 2025 – The Europe GP raced on the weekend on the Saint Jean D’Angely track will enter by law on the most beautiful pages of the team and TM. Niccolò Mannini with second place in the GP has conquered the red table of the leader of the European Championship EMX125. A weekend characterized by continuous meteorological changes that have once again put everyone to the test. Niccolò Mannini and Julius Mikula have as usual thrown their heart beyond the obstacle with the usual great commitment. 

For Niccolò the weekend began with a timetable that saw him close with the 7th half in his EMX125 group. On Saturday afternoon, the first heat was held and Niccolo started her big, detaching everyone at the first corner to conquer the Hole Shot. From there it was a head -to -head first with faures for the head of the race, then in the last laps with Mantovani for second place. In the end he had to settle for 3rd place. In the second heats he runs on Sunday morning another Hole Shot for him but in the third curve he fell losing many positions. Niccolò did not lose heart and started a fantastic comeback that led him to 3rd place once again. An epic race with a lot of mud on the track that showed how much the harmony between motorcycles and pilot is well underway. With these two third places he finished in 2nd place in the absolute of the GP and is now at the top of the European EMX125 after two tests played!

Jiulius experienced a demanding weekend. On Saturday he conquered the 17th time in Time Practice and the same position saw him end the qualifying race. On Sunday in the two heats he conquered a 16th and 11th place. In the race, a not very good departure forced him to fight in the center of the group. In the second he started better and then climbed other positions and touched the top ten. Just in the last lap he attempted overtaking to enter the ten but he did not succeed. There remains another solid test that confirms his progress. Julius closed the absolute of the GP in 14th place and is now 14th in the MX2 World Cup ranking.

The team after this GP will return to Italy. The second test of the Italian Pro Prestige will run next weekend in Mantua which will see both Niccolò and Julius once again engaged.

Niccolò Mannini: “One of the most beautiful weekend of my albeit short career. On Saturday I struggled to interpret the track but then the rain fell before the race one helped me sincerely. I left head and then I had fun in a race in battle with Manu and Filippo. In the end I was satisfied with third place. In the race two a lot of mud but I still conquered the Hole Shot. Shortly afterwards I fell and left in the middle of the group I used all my anger to recover. In the end another beautiful third place and the conquest of second place in the GP and the red table! I am really happy, I want to thank the whole team, TM in the person of Gastone Serafini, Alix Power and all those who support us this season “. 

Julius Mikula: “In the GP of Europe the rain arrived during the qualifying race. Unfortunately, water got inside my goggles, which made visibility extremely difficult and affected my overall performance. I finished the session in 17th place, which determined my gate pick for Sunday’s races. In the first moto on Sunday, I struggled to find my rhythm. I wasn’t feeling comfortable on the bike and couldn’t get into the flow I needed. I fought hard but had to settle for 16th place at the finish. For the second moto, I was determined to improve. Things didn’t start well, as I got stuck in the first corner and was forced to restart from the very back of the pack. Despite the tough start, I found my pace and focused on making clean passes. I kept pushing throughout the race and managed to work my way up to 11th place by the end. After such a difficult beginning, I’m happy with how I turned things around.

I want to give a big thanks to my entire team for their hard work and support throughout the weekend. Also, a huge thank you to my partners and fans for always standing behind me!”.
