Race One: It was Tom Vialle who got the holeshot on his Honda – it didn’t take Jeffrey Herlings long to get himself to the front but Lucas Coenen was the man on the move. The Belgium passed Febvre, Vialle and Herlings to get himself to the front and them dominated in very tough conditions.
Despite a small tip over Febvre came home in third ahead of Kay de Wolf who continues to improve. Ruben Fernandez rounded out the top five.
It wasn’t a great race for the Yamaha’s with Tim Gajser coming back to ninth after a small crash. Renaux is dealing with illness so finished twelfth.
Race Two: What a race as Lucas Coenen and Jeffrey Herlings put on a show on how to race the deep sand – incredible! Coenen got to the front and actually had a nice gap of 12 seconds before a mistake – Herlings was then on his back wheel. From there on the pair of them were on it but Coenen held on to take his 18th GP win – he dug deep.
Kay de Wolf had a great race as he was outside the top ten but made lots of moves to finish third and get himself on the podium – but he was nearly a minute behind that shows the pace at the front.
Gajser had a huge crash and no doubt dug very deep to come back to eighth.
