Jett Lawrence && Kim Savaste 2104 FIM Junior Motocross Champions Congratulations to these young riders ... Pass the word to the Island of Japan, that SP the Juggernaut, has more champions on the way. -- Here is a few words on the event. The Motocross stars of tomorrow were out in force this weekend at Lierneux in Belgium for the 2014 edition of the World Junior Motocross Championship which saw KTM riders dominating the competition and sweeping the podiums in both the 65cc and 85cc classes. Close to 300 enthusiastic young riders tackled the hard pack surface that was made even more challenging after heavy rain. KTM’s Jett Lawrence Junior World Champion 65cc - First to be crowned 2014 champion was Australian Jett Lawrence, who, as already a seasoned Australian national champion was well at home on the top of the podium. He picked up a 1-2 result in his two motos to take the title with KTM riders Jo Shimoda of Japan (4-1) and American Jeremy Ryan (3-3) taking the minor places. Nine of the top ten riders were on the Made in Austria KTM machines. KTM’s Kim Savaste Junior World Champion 85cc - KTM riders were also strong in the 85cc championship with Finland’s Kim Savaste taking the title with a 3-2 in his two motos. After two crashes in the recent European EMX85 cost him the title, he ensured overall victory in the Worlds with a solid and consistent 3-2 result for his two motos.
This was awesome news to us here in Qld Australia as he is the younger son of a family I know through friends !! As with all motorsport families, the Lawrence family back their boys 120% sacrificing huge amounts of time & money for their boys & their sport. It has paid off with a win for young Jett, unfortunately his older & very fast brother Hunter was injured & DNFed. Congratulations to Jett on the win & to Hunter, speedy recovery mate!!
