Team Rupeiks/Tučis

Lithuanian GP – P13 Overall 🇱🇹🏁

We completed a challenging round of the World Championship in Lithuania. The track was very technical and demanding, but we never gave up and gave it everything we had.

In the first race, we got off to a great start and were running around 11th place until the race was stopped with a red flag due to several heavy crashes. After the restart, things unfortunately didn't go our way. Several teams crashed right in front of us, forcing us to begin the race from the middle of the pack. We fought until the very end and finished in 14th place.

The second race didn't start as planned either, as there were once again multiple crashes right off the start. Despite that, we kept making progress lap after lap and crossed the finish line in 12th place, which secured us 13th overall for the weekend.

A special thank you to Kenny Vahter for agreeing to join us for this round. Jumping straight back into the sidecar after nearly three months away and competing in a World Championship race is far from easy. You did a great job, and I truly appreciate it. 🤝

A huge thank you to our entire team, supporters, sponsors, and every fan who followed us and cheered us on. Your support means the world to us!

With this, we wrap up our 2026 World Championship season. We wish all teams and riders the best of luck in the remaining rounds. We hope to come back even stronger next year and, hopefully, compete in even more World Championship rounds.

See you at the track! 💪😉

🇱🇻Pagājusi pirmā Madonas GP sacensību diena. Laika treniņā piedzīvojām smagu kritienu.
Apspriežoties savā starpā un ar mediķiem, pieņēmām lēmumu neturpināt sacensības.

Esam ļoti sarūgtināti, ka nevarēsim piedalīties pašmāju GP, tomēr, ņemot vērā, ka nākamnedēļ ir Pasaules čempionāta posms Lietuvā, mūsu prioritāte ir atveseļoties un pilnībā sagatavoties nākamajām sacensībām.

Liels paldies visiem līdzjutējiem, kas bija ieradušies atbalstīt un tur par mums īkšķus. Tiekamies nākamajās sacensībās!💪

Rītdien būs iespēja satikt mūs braucēju prezentācijā un autogrāfu sesijā!😉

🇬🇧The first day of the Madona GP race has passed. We had a serious crash during the qualifying session.
After consulting with each other and the doctors, we decided not to continue the race.

We are very disappointed that we will not be able to participate in the home GP, however, considering that next week is the World Championship round in Lithuania, our priority is to recover and fully prepare for the next race.

Many thanks to all the fans who came to support us and keep their fingers crossed for us. See you at the next race!💪

Tomorrow you will have the opportunity to meet us at the driver presentation and autograph session!😉

🇱🇻 Iepazīsti Latvijas sportistus, kuri pasaules čempionātā startēs mājas posmā!
