Race One: Simon Laengenfelder grabbed the holeshot but then made a mistake around the second corner which allowed Isak Gifting and Jago Geerts to get passed the young German. Gifting was flying at the front and led for twenty minutes but not being used to the hot pace at the front looked like he started to fade, Laengenfelder who had already passed Geerts was then able to make a move on the Swede to pull away at the front. Geerts, Everts and Van de Moosdijk were also able to pass Gifting but fifth was still a good ride for the VHR GasGas rider in what is his last year racing the MX2 World Championship. Adamo was battling for the top five but then got cross rutted and seemed to struggle after that. He did manage to pass Weckman and Mc Lellan to get back to tenth.
Race Two: It was Roan van de Moosdijk who took the holeshot in the second moto and was looking very comfortable at the front before a small crash dropped him down to third. It allowed Liam Everts to get himself into the lead with the young Belgian also looking good at the front but then he made an error as well which then saw Kevin Horgmo at the front. The Norwegian who isn’t exactly used to leading then pulled the pin and took a superb race win to the delight of F&H rider coach, Marc de Reuver. Everts came home in second to take his third GP overall and two in a row as he continues to go from strength to strength. Adamo had a bad start outside the top ten but rode much better and got up to fifth catching the front runners but couldn’t pass Geerts who did enough for third overall. Laengenfelder bizarrely didn’t ride with the same flow as he did in race one and could only manage sixth. Everts now has the championship chase down to 48!
