Four Latvians and Mike Alessi line up at Supercross Tallinn

Supercross Tallinn 2026, an international indoor supercross meeting, takes place on Friday and Saturday, 13 and 14 November, at Estonia’s largest indoor arena in Tallinn. Twenty-four riders from 13 countries are entered, including the American Mike Alessi and four Latvians, the Latvian Motorsport Federation (LaMSF) said.

Uldis Freibergs, 20, represents Latvia in the SX Open class, which is raced on 250cc, 350cc and 450cc bikes. His rivals include the European champion Jere Haavisto of Finland, Adrien Malaval of France, Lucas Moraes Dunka of Brazil and Kaarel Tilk of Estonia. Three more Latvians, Toms Vanadzins, Ralfs Zemītis and Jurijs Sigajevs, ride in the pit bike races.

“Mr Holeshot” in Tallinn

Alessi, 38, is one of the best-known American motocross riders of his generation. He earned the nickname “Mr Holeshot” for his ability to get away fast and lead from the first metres. He finished second in the 450cc class of the AMA Pro Motocross championship in 2007 and 2012.

This is the second year the event has been held in Tallinn. About 300 tonnes of soil, sand and clay have been brought into the arena to build the track, designed by Jarno Oldenijen of the Netherlands. Both days are streamed live on 24sport.app, where a one-day pass costs from €7.99.
