The second half of the 2025 FIM Motocross World Championship roared into life this weekend on the treacherous sands of Kegums, Latvia. Round 11 brought with it brutal track conditions and weather curveballs that tested every rider’s resolve—including the Aruba.it – Ducati Factory MX Team duo, Jeremy Seewer and Mattia Guadagnini.

After showing flashes of promise in Saturday’s qualifying, both riders were eager to capitalise on the momentum. But the overnight rain reshaped the track into a rutted, slick gauntlet that quickly separated the field and demanded razor-sharp precision.

Race One: Storming Starts, Slippery Struggles

Seewer and Guadagnini began the opening moto from 10th and 12th on the gate, respectively. Seewer got a clean jump but found himself boxed in at turn one, slipping outside the top fifteen. Guadagnini used the Ducati Desmo450 MX’s grunt to edge closer to the top ten early on, but a scrappy first lap saw him settle into 13th.

The duo gritted through the 17-lap slog, with Mattia finishing 14th and Seewer, hampered by a technical issue, crossing in 16th.

Race Two: Promising Paces for Ducati and Late-Race Pains

The second moto offered a brighter start. Guadagnini slotted into 10th in the early going, with Seewer tucked just behind. The Swiss rider began finding rhythm, breaking into the top 10 by lap ten before disaster struck: a late crash dashed his hopes of a strong finish, relegating him to 18th. Guadagnini held on to take 12th.

Guadagnini Sees Progress, Eyes More

Despite the bruising conditions, Mattia took heart from his progress: “This weekend was a step forward. I still need to work on timed practice, but I was able to start from a better spot and get decent jumps. I faded a bit in the second moto, but finishing 12th overall is a positive step. It’s time to build on this and push for better results.”

Seewer Determined, Not Defeated

For Seewer, it was a race of what could’ve been: “It looks tough on paper, but there were positives. I was fighting well in moto two until the crash. We know where we’re lacking, and that gives us direction. It’s still early days for this program—no one’s giving up.”

With Seewer clinging to his top-10 spot in the overall standings and Guadagnini steadily gaining ground, Ducati’s MXGP journey continues to be one of relentless development and raw perseverance. Next stop: redemption.
