a race win in his first race back from a major back injury. See- wer's 1-2 finishes earned him the overall with Renaux second and Gajser third. Gajser still leads the overall championship, but See- wer now moves to second ahead of Prado. MX2 The points race in the MX2 divi- sion is one to watch this year as Tom Vialle and Jago Geerts continue to duke it out. However, it was Thibault Benistant who started up front in MX2 race one, while Vialle and Geerts were forced to fight through the pack. Vialle, the points leader, strug- gled and dropped off the pace as the race wore on. He finished an uncharacteristic 10th in the first race, while title rival Geerts worked his way to third. Beni- stant ran away with the win while Simon Langenfelder claimed third. Geerts rebounded in race two and grabbed his first holeshot of the season just ahead of Vialle. The two points leaders found themselves locked in a battle at the front of the field, as Vialle made a pass for the lead early on in the race. However, halfway through the race Vialle ran off the track on a downhill and surren- dered the lead back to Geerts. Vialle was unable to recover and Geerts ran off with the race win ahead of Vialle and Langenfelder. Geerts therefore took the over- all win ahead of Benistant and Langenfelder. With his overall win, Geerts retakes the points lead by eight over Vialle. CN MXGP 1. Jeremy Seewer (Yam) 1-2 2. Maxime Renaux (Yam) 3-1 3. Tim Gajser (Hon) 2-3 4. Glenn Coldenhoff (Yam) 4-4 5.
