MX2
It was a hectic start for MX2 race
one as Mattia Guadagnini got off
to the holeshot and early lead.
He fell over in turn two, tak-
ing Tom Vialle and a number of
other riders down with him. This
allowed Yamaha's Jago Geerts
to slip through with the lead
and break away from the rest of
the field. Behind him, the track
plagued riders with mistakes and
crashes. The wet soil created
slick spots in some areas while
other parts of the track were
deep with sticky mud. Geerts
held strong for the win with Ste-
phen Rubini finishing second,
and Isak Gifting third.
It was a great ride for Liam
Everts with a fourth in race one,
while Vialle charged back to fifth
after his early crash.
Vialle rebounded in race two,
taking the lead almost right away.
Geerts stayed close again and
stalked Vialle for most of the
race. Rubini saw a podium in
sight and put together a strong
ride, battling with Mikkel Haarup
to secure the final overall po-
dium. At the line, Vialle took the
race win over Geerts and Simon
Längenfelder. Geerts' 1-2 earned
him the overall over Vialle's 5-1.
Rubini's sixth place finish in
race two solidified his third in
the overall classification, his first
career podium. Geerts maintains
the red plate, just six points
ahead of Vialle in the champion-
ship.
