EMX Quad European Championship: Patrick Turrini wins in Italy while Harry Walker grabs the 2024 title The Italian Crossodromo La Colla was the perfect set for the last round of the 2024 EMX Quad European Championship. Race 1 For the penultimate time this year, the gates slammed to the ground and, despite Marcu s Thomsen momentarily taking the race lead, it was the German, Manfred Zienecker, who made the best launch to put himself into the lead of the race and, with that, take the holeshot ahead of the chasing pack.

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.

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.

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
