rider led early on but fell on lap
two and dropped back to sixth. He
remounted but only went on to sal
-
vage fifth at the checkers.
Geerts's crash allowed Liam
Everts to sneak by for the top
spot. Everts rode by himself for
nearly the whole race while Lu
-
cas Coenen stalked from behind.
With two to go, Coenen made his
pass for the lead, made it stick,
and held it through to the finish.
Andrea Adamo also managed a
last-lap pass to claim third.
Coenen again found himself
up front in race two with his twin
brother Sacha. The Husqvarna-
mounted race-one winner finally
managed to hold the lead for the
entire race with no real mistakes.
He claimed a dominant 1-1 vic
-
tory to take his first career over-
all and earning redemption from
his round-nine heartbreak.
"I think this one is really
special," Coenen said. "This is
an insane feeling that I cannot
describe. I want to thank every
-
body who has worked extremely
hard to support me."
Everts and Geerts battled it
out for the final spots on the
podium. Everts eventually made
the move to secure second in the
race and in the overall. Geerts
took third, making it a Belgian
sweep of the podium. Adamo
finished fourth overall and now
leads the MX2 championship
just five points over Thibault
Benistant.
