Kay de Wolf showed his sand skills have no limits after putting a stunning pass for the lead on Camden McLellan to win his home GP and close the points gap to 15 points with three rounds to go on Simon Längenfelder.
Finding traction where no-one else could and hanging off thr back of the bike ensuring rear wheel traction, de Wolf surged passed the South African with authority and takes huge momementum into the last three rounds of the championship as he seeks to defend his world title.
Kay said: “It’s unreal to finally get my first GP win here at home. I’ve been working so hard for this over the past few years, and having just missed out before, to finally make it happen in front of the Dutch fans is incredible. The atmosphere was unbelievable – the crowd alongside the track gave me so much energy, and their support really means the world. Winning both races here makes it even more special. The track was tough and you could never switch off, but I felt strong all weekend and managed both motos the way I needed to. In Race 1 it was all about staying patient before making my move, and in Race 2 I just focused on being smooth and riding my own pace even with McLellan pushing hard. Closing the gap in the championship like this is exactly what we were aiming for – now it’s game on for the last four rounds. A huge thank you to the whole team and everyone who’s been behind me – this one means a lot.”
