out for the podium as Febvre,
Vlaanderen, Bogers and Gajser
duked it out. Vlaanderen eventu-
ally solidified his spot in second,
while Bogers and Febvre locked
into a last-lap battle for third.
Bogers managed to launch past
the number-three Kawasaki and
secure the overall win with 1-3
finishes. Coldenhoff took the
race victory ahead of Vlaan-
deren. This made it a Nether-
lands sweep of the podium, with
Bogers claiming his first-ever
overall, Vlaanderen second and
Coldenhoff third.
MX2
The championship hunt in MX2
is being fought tooth-and-nail
between Geerts and Tom Vialle.
Geerts entered his home GP
only eight points clear of his
rival Vialle and got off to an early
holeshot in race one. His Ya-
maha teammate Thibault Beni-
stant made a pass for the lead in
turn two, but it was Roan van de
Moosdijk who overtook the lead
by the end of the lap. De Moos-
dijk later fell and handed the lead
back to Geerts who was defend-
ing from the Dutchman Kay de
Wolf.
De Wolf showed his sand
strength and passed Geerts
before taking the eventual race
win. Geerts came home second
ahead of Simon Langenfelder.
Vialle had his struggles and
crashed before finishing seventh.
Race two saw Geerts and
de Wolf up front again on the
opening laps. De Wolf made his
move to the lead on lap three,
but Geerts stayed close and
looked to capitalize on maximum
points. A mistake from de Wolf
put Geerts back into the lead,
where he stayed to take the
eventual race win. De Wolf came
home second with Kevin Horgmo
rounding out the race-two po-
dium. Geerts' 2-1 gave him the
overall ahead of de Wolf's 1-2.
Vialle salvaged fourth in race two
and earned third overall with 7-4
scores.
