If MXGP fans were on the lookout for a young rookie to chart from the 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship then Belgian Jago Geerts was definitely somewhere on the list. The seventeen year old moved his name right to the peak of that roster with a sensational podium in the stuffy hot air and across the sharp and harsh bumps of Kegums for the Grand Prix of Latvia.
Round seven in the GP series brought the paddock into the fast and sandy surrounds of the challenging circuit less than an hour from the capital city of Riga. A flipped layout and some other alterations forced a fresh take on the Latvian leaps but good starts across the flat ground remained essential.
