A sixth for Jeremy Seewer in Latvia
The Swiss faced a mountain to climb in the first moto after emerging twenty-first from the first-turn lottery on a saturated track, much of which had been submerged under water by a heavy rainstorm during the half-hour before the programmed start; each overtaking move was inevitably fraught with danger but he knuckled down to the task manfully to advance to fourteenth at the finish. Extensive work by the track crew during the interval produced a normal track surface for race two; disputing sixth and seventh through the early laps he eventually made sixth secure and in the second half of the moto closed down the riders ahead to finish just three seconds from fourth. He retains sixth in the championship standings headed to the midway point of the series at Maggiora in northern Italy next weekend.
