Geerts is on a mission to retake
his early season championship
lead. The Yamaha rider, who
returned from injury a few weeks
back, grabbed the early lead in
MX2 race one and walked away
from the rest of the field. Geerts
ran away with the win in an ef
-
fort to score as many points as
possible. Kevin Horgmo and Kay
de Wolf rounded out the podium.
Drama ensued for his com
-
petitors as points leader, Andrea
Adamo, crashed with Geerts's
teammate Rick Elzinga and later
received a penalty for passing
on a yellow flag. He finished
13th.
Adamo rebounded in race two
and fought hard to take the lead
from Simon Laengenfelder by
the halfway point. Adamo held
on for the rest of the moto, tak
-
ing his first-ever race victory. A
13-1 netted fifth overall to keep
the points lead.
Geerts, on the other hand,
didn't seem to be in a big rush,
as his race-one win solidified
him in the championship rank
-
ings. He finished second in the
moto behind Laengenfelder but
took the day's overall win.
"The goal is to take as much
points as possible, but if I don't
feel comfortable on the track,
I don't want to take too many
risks," said Geerts. "It's still a
very good day with the overall
win and I'm very happy about the
weekend."
