Race One: To the delight of the Swiss fans, Ryan Oppliger took the holeshot and was riding great at the front. However, Nicolo Alvisi took a good start himself and was able to make a move to get into the lead – the Italian made a move for the lead and never looked back!
Dani Heitink has been struggling with his starts this year but finally got a good one in third. He passed Oppliger to finish a strong second.
Katona didn’t get a good start as he was around tenth on the first lap but he took his time to work his way up to the front and ended up a very solid third ahead of Gennaro Utech with Mano Faure rounding out the top five.
Cole McCullough didn’t get a good start but had actually worked his way into around thirteenth after the first couple of laps. Unfortunately he crashed which saw him outside the top thirty but he worked his way up to ninth passing Jarne Bervoets on the final lap.
Race Two: When the gate dropped it was Bervoets who grabbed the holeshot as Alvisi and Oppliger hit the deck at turn one. Katona managed to get a good start and it didn’t take him long to get into the lead – once he did, he was gone! The win give him his second EMX125 overall and he extends his championshp lead.
Kubulins was riding well in second on his JK Yamaha before Bellei caught him with a couple of laps to go. The Italian was able to make a move to get into second.
On the last lap, Heitink needed to make a move to get himself on the podium and he was able to make a move on Pini to secure his first EMX125 podium.
Alvisi was charging through the pack impressively, from last he got himself into fifth before having a crash which meant he had more work to do – he ended up sixth for second overall.
McCullough was tenth on lap one and rode a smart race to come through to fourth for sixth overall.
