The last races were last weekend in Kleinhau. The sidecars had their third event there and, as expected, the Swiss riders came with strong teams to support Remo Käser-Cornelio Döring, who had been leading until then.

The IMBA European Championship race in the Czech Republic scheduled for the weekend has unfortunately to be cancelled due to too few participants in the class. It is a pity for the organiser who invests time, effort and also some money in an event and is let down by the riders. We will have to see what happens next for 2024! The championship standings will therefore be based on the 2 IMBA Mx2 races held so far.

The Belgian Mattéo Puffet left no doubt this year who will be the reigning and probably also the coming champion in the Open class. He came to the final race in Switzerland, in Lützelflüh in the Emmental, with a lead of 111 points. His direct rival, the Englishman James Dodd, unfortunately had to cancel his planned trip because his wife had given birth to a baby in the days before. Unfortunately, there were also several other cancellations due to injury. The starting field was then very shrunk, but the present candidates still fought hard for the places. Mattéo set the best time in qualifying, but his compatriot Jonas Salaets managed a start-finish victory in the first heat.
