a little gap. I also made a mistake
of my own, and Renaux caught
me, but I kept my focus and re-
grouped to keep the lead."

Simon Laengenfelder continued
his string of good starts with a
holeshot in race one. His lead
was short-lived, as another Gas
-
Gas rider, Isak Gifting, moved to
the top spot on lap one. Gifting
held the lead for most of the
race but was passed again by
Laengenfelder on lap 10.
It took Laengenfelder some
time to get back into the lead,
but once he did, he held on for
another race victory ahead of
Geerts and Everts. Champion
-
ship leader, Andrea Adamo
struggled and finished 10th.
The title heavyweights all
suffered poor starts in race two.
Husqvarna's Roan Van De Moos-
dijk shot into the top spot early
on. Everts eventually overtook
the Husqvarna rider and looked
to be running away with the win,
but he fell on lap 12, which al
-
lowed Kevin Horgmo to pass for
the lead. Horgmo held it for the
final few laps to take his first-ev
-
er moto win. Everts still finished
second, which was good enough
to claim the overall victory over
Horgmo and Geerts. Adamo
still leads the points, 48 clear of
Everts and 82 of Geerts.
"I made a little mistake in the
second moto, but otherwise, I
felt comfortable all weekend,"
said Everts. "That's not normal
because these high-speed tracks
are not my thing, but I was
fast and in control. As I've said
before, the championship was
not really my goal coming into
the season; just to get on the
podium was good, and then a GP
win was unbelievable."
