Haarup impresses in Denmark!
During the weekend weekend Mikkel Haarup was participating in the third round of the Danish Championship in the deep sand of Holstebro. Riding on a 150cc 2-stroke against the 250cc 4-strokes in MX2 it was not an easy task for Haarup but he ended up with a third place in moto one and with a win in moto two for second overall.
On raceday Mikkel Haarup showed why he is pointed out by many as one of the biggest talents in the sport right now and the overtaking of Felix Nilsson on a 250cc F in this clip was a spectacular one.
