Glenn Coldenhoff (Yamaha), Pauls Jonass (GasGas), Thomas Kjer Olsen (Husqvarna) and Ales- sandro Lupino (KTM). MX2 The fight in the MX2 division was between KTM's Tom Vialle and Ya- maha's Jago Geerts as they duked it out for second in the overall points standings. Maxime Renaux (Yamaha) previously secured the overall title back in Trentino. Vialle grabbed the early lead with Geerts closely behind in second. On lap two, Geerts made his way to the front and never looked back. Vialle later crashed and was forced to retire from the race early. This DNF resulted in Vialle scoring zero points, while Geerts capital- ized with the maximum payout. Vialle did not line up for race two, thus handing second place over to Geerts. Mattia Guadanini (KTM) grabbed the early lead ahead over Rene Hofer (KTM) and Yamaha teammates Geerts and Renaux. The orange and blue battle went on for the opening laps, but Re- naux eventually took control of the race by lap three. Geerts followed suit behind his teammate and despite a late-race effort, could not claim the top spot. Renaux claimed the race win, but Geerts' 1-2 was good enough for the overall. Renaux's 3-1 gave him second on the day and Kay De Wolf (Husqvarna) rounded off the podium with 2-6 scores. As the MXGP season con- cludes it's Maxime Renaux top- ping the MX2 division ahead of Jago Geerts and Tom Vialle. "I'm really happy," said Geerts. "The last two rounds here were really good. Even in the last race, I was chasing Maxime and made a small crash, but then I came back. I wanted to make a move on the last lap and crashed again, but my speed was really good, and second overall in the champion- ship was the goal when we came here after a tough season, so I am very happy that we could achieve that. I hope we can continue like this in 2022." CN MXGP 1. Jeffrey Herlings (KTM) 1-1 2. Tim Gajser (Hon) 3-2 3. Romain Febvre (Kaw) 2-3 4. Jeremy Seewer (Yam) 4-4 5. Jorge Prado (KTM) 5-7 MX2 1.
