Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Janis and Karlis Reisulis have placed fifth and eighth overall, respectively, at the MXGP of Andalucia. Racing at a new, sandy circuit in Almonte for round two of the series, the talented duo delivered a pair of solid rides aboard their Yamaha YZ250FM machinery to secure their top-10 results.

“It was another really positive weekend for me. I was able to keep my flow right through to the end of the races, which is something I’ve been working on, and I think that comes down to having a stronger mindset both before and during the race. That allowed me to keep fighting with the front group and I made some good passes on experienced riders. Overall, it was a very encouraging weekend, and we’ll keep building from here.”

“I feel like it could have been better, as I know I have more in me. My main struggle at the moment is finding that consistent race rhythm. Once I get a bit of arm pump it becomes harder to stay relaxed and ride the way I want to. That’s something I need to keep working on – staying calm and managing it better. The second moto was an improvement for me; even if the result wasn’t much different, the feeling on the bike was better, which is a positive to take away.”
The MX2 World Championship resumes in one week’s time at the hardpack venue of Frauenfeld, where the team will remain focused on maintaining its strong start to the 2026 campaign.
