Win at MXGP of Flanders
T

pionship headed to the deep

the best sand riders who stand
atop the podium at the MXGP of
Flanders. This time, it was first-
time winner Brian Bogers taking
the MXGP overall, while Jago
Geerts won the MX2 division and
extended his points lead.

Jorge Prado got things started
with a classic holeshot over
Jeremy Seewer and Tim Gajser.
Bogers started in fifth but quickly
became the man on the move
as he worked his way through to
the front of the field. He passed
Seewer and Prado for the lead
and checked out.
Romain Febvre also returned
this weekend after sitting out Lo-
ket and showed strengths in race
one as he passed into podium
territory. However, it was Calvin
Vlaanderen who put in a late-race
charge to take second place
from Febvre. These two finished
second and third, respectively,
while Bogers claimed his first-
ever race win.
Prado again took the holeshot
in race two and led the first three
laps before being overtaken by
sand specialist Glenn Colden-
hoff. A four-way battle broke
