Young Belgian Liam Everts backed up his good performance from the last MXGP this weekend at the MXGP of Latvia in Kegums.

· Liam Everts makes the best of a poor starting position
· Superb performance in both heats on race Sunday by Liam Everts
· Next MXGP in Italy - Maggiora

Due to a retirement in the qualifying race on Saturday, the starting position for Liam Everts and his KTM SX-F250 for the race Sunday was anything but optimal. Nevertheless, Liam Everts managed to fight his way forward lap after lap with his clever and careful riding style. In the first heat, the hard work was rewarded with the best heat result and the first top 10 place in the MX2 World Championship with ninth place. In the second heat, Everts was not able to make up quite as many places and finished a long and energy-sapping race in 15th place. In the day's standings, Liam Everts finished twelfth overall.

Liam Everts: "On Sunday I made the best of my suboptimal starting position and was able to work my way up quickly in the first moto and reward myself with my first Top 10 place. The start into the second moto wasn't good and I couldn't improve that many places in the first lap, but 15th place is still okay. The most important point is that we made further steps forward and improved again a bit compared to Arco.“
