After the back to back rounds in Italy and the Netherlands, the 2017 MXGP series took a weekend off before heading to the Baltic nation of Latvia for this seventh round of the Motocross World Championship, held at the Kegums facility just south of Riga.
This weekend, the Suzuki World team of Arminas Jasikonis, Jeremy Seewer, Hunter Lawrence, Bas Vaessen and Zach Pichon is almost at full capacity and looking forward to the challenge, with only Kevin Strijbos absent due to his recently sustained elbow injury.
The whole squad have been working hard in the break to try and keep their level up with some riders choosing to ride at the German ADAC national race, whilst others stayed away in order to rest or work on other aspects of their riding.
