World Championship
S
ome of the top 65cc, 85cc
and 125cc amateur riders
in the world took part in this
year's FIM Junior Motocross
World Championships held at
Romagne in France, July 5-6.
Sunday's race day presented
tough conditions, with heavy
rains soaking the track and leav

fourth overall.
American Kannon Zabojnik
was the standout rider for Team

won the highly contested 65cc
10-12 division. The Texas native
grabbed the early holeshot but
fell. He later regained the lead

weather, leaving Zabojnik with
the overall win. Fellow American
Levi Geis (Cobra) joined Zabo

jnik on the podium in third.
Zabojnik's victory was the
first by an American rider in this
class since 2013, and the first
World Junior Championship for
the USA since Caden Braswell
clinched the 85cc title in 2018.
American Gauge Brown (KTM)
was sixth overall in the 85cc
class, and fellow American Mad

dox Temmerman (Husqvarna)
was 11th.
