He has raced two MX2 GP's in 2022.

Latvia
M1 - 28th/34 rider
M2 - 17th/33 rider

Spain
M1 - 17th/24 rider
M2 - 15th/23 rider

He is mostly an EMX250 rider. Currently 11th in the standings this year but has missed two races. In 2021, he finished 19th overall missing one race.

Despite promising results in EMX125 and EMX250 between 2019-2020, his career is starting to stall. Interested to see how he does today.

Good to hear Emig's voice. He may fumble over his words, but I like his announcing.

He'll be fine if he doesn't crash. But he crashes a lot.
You missed the 12th he got at Lommel the last GP he raced.

He's not racing EMX anymore, that's why he dropped int he rankings. Last week instead of Sweden he raced at Hawkstone and finished 2nd on a 250 against a combined field in moto 1 before he went otb in moto 2. Faster laptime than Gilbert on a 450 who damn near had a top 10 at Pala this year. I think he has the speed for a top 15 today if he gets a start and keeps it on two wheels (probably the hardest part, especially at Unadilla)

You're right, he went 21st and 12th at Lommel.

Even before deciding not to race EMX250 anymore, he was 9th in the standings in 2022 - maybe he would be 7th-8th if he didn't miss Maggiora but ifs butts candy and nuts.

If he gets 15th, that's a huge result in my opinion. I hope he does well, I've always enjoyed his grit. It is just a shame his flashes and crashes go hand in hand.
