followed suit and moved to sec-
ond after a few laps but later fell
and handed the position back to
Horgmo. This allowed Vialle to
check out up front while Geerts
and Horgmo duked it out for
second and third. Geerts eventu-
ally got back around, minimizing
damage and securing second in
the race.
The two rivals started side by
side in fourth and fifth during
race two while other competi-
tors capitalized. Simon Langen-
felder led the second MX2 race
while both Vialle and Geerts
faced their struggles. Mistakes
from Geerts saw him lose a few
positions early on but a fall from
Vialle allowed the Yamaha rider
to slip by. Feeling the late-race
momentum, Geerts made a
pass for the lead which he held
to the end of the race. Vialle
charged back for second with
the two trading race wins on
the day. Eventually, Geerts took
the overall ahead of Vialle and
Langenfelder.
