When the gate dropped for the second moto, Ivano Van Erp had a disastrous first lap buried outside the top twenty. He also suffered a crash on the first lap which ruined any chance of him being crowned champion.
The question was who could take advantage and win the championship?

Congratulations to the Latvian kid on the title, well deserved.

EMX85
It was a sensational ride from Rene Hofer to win the first EMX85 moto of the weekend. He was buried outside the top ten around the first corner but carried a lot more momentum that the other riders and made the move into the lead on lap six.
Anton Nagy from Sweden rode well to end up in second but didn’t have enough for the Austrian. Spaniard, Oriol Oliver rode well to clinch the last step on the podium.
British rider, Lewis Hall had one of the best rides, he started down in ninth but worked his way into fourth by the end of the moto passing top riders like Tom Guyon and Alessandro Facca.
Tomorrow is a different day, it will be interesting to see if Van Erp and Hofer can clinch their titles or will the pressure prove to be too much to handle?
