From there it was mostly a lonely race for all three of the front run- ners as Seewer went on to claim the moto win and finish second overall. Gajser played it safe in second, knowing his main rival Renaux was out for the count. His second-place finish in race two was good enough for the overall win and allowed him to extend his points lead to 101 over now second place, See- wer. Prado was third in race two and third overall with 7-3 scores. MX2 MX2 points leader Tom Vialle, once again, grabbed the hole- shot in race one and broke out to an early lead. Thibault Beni- stant, fresh off an overall podium in France, got a great start and locked into second behind Vialle. Jago Geerts struggled on lap one but made his way through the field and later passed his Yamaha teammate Benistant for second. Geerts then set his sights on leader Vialle, but it was too little too late as Vialle edged the win by under one second of margin. Vialle again grabbed the hole- shot over Benistant and looked to pick up right where he left off. Benistant had other plans though as he took the lead from Vialle late on lap one. Behind them, Geerts pushed his way past Andrea Adamo for third place before going after Vialle. A few laps later, Vialle's KTM stopped running which allowed Geerts to easily slip by without a fight. Vialle would not finish the race and thus give the points lead to Geerts. The two Yamahas of Benistant and Geerts continued on to finish first and second while Mikkel Haarup charged up to the final podium in third. The running order in race two solidified the overall finishes with Benistant earning his first victory, Geerts in second and Haarup third. Geerts now leads the points by eight over Vialle. CN MXGP 1.
