Race One: Simon Langenfelder took the opening moto win after passing race leader Liam Everts and controlling the race from the front. Andrea Adamo also got by Everts who took third but extended his championship lead with de Wolf finishing sixth after a mid-pack start having had to gate from the outside thanks to his DNF yesterday.
Race Two: What a race! The second MX2 was race of the season so far with Adamo, Benistant, Everts and Lagenfelder all leading as well as Sacha Coenen! But Coenen’s holeshot was short-lived after another huge crash on the first downhill!
That left Everts and Lagenfelder battling out front but Benistant and Adamo were coming. Everts got into the lead with Benistant and Adamo then blowing by Lagenfelder before the duo got Everts as well and entered their own battle for the win.
Benistant led for a long time but Adamo wouldn’t go away as Everts droppen back to fifht with De Wolf on the charge and pushing Lagenfelder back up to the battle for the lead! It was four riders within four seconds with finve minutes to go as Benistant hesitated slightly on the outside of a turn and Adamo made the pass for the lead, Benistant passed him back immediately only for Adamo to hit back again. Two laps to go and De Wolf went off track forcing him to settle for fourth but Benistant wasn’t settling for anything and he threw the kitchen sink at Adamo, almost went down, somehow stayed up and attacked again but it wasn’t enough as Adamo somehow held on, mistake free, for his first GP win since 2023.
Adamo said: “It was amazing. It’s a long time time, a year and a half, I don’t know how many days (since his last GP win) but it feels good. It was tough last year, I am happy to be back to feel that fire that I can be competitive. The last lap was insane, Thibault was pushing a lot. It’s not easy with the ruts, if you miss a little bit out of the corner it’s not easy. I am super, super, happy and hope to keep this momentum.”
