guess you can call me sandman
again!"
MX2
De Wolf started the weekend
with a win in the qualifying race
which set the tone for Sunday's
action. The Husqvarna rider
started second in race one but
moved his way to the lead by lap
three. His fellow Husky team
-
mate, Lucas Coenen, hunted
his way to the front and set his
sights on de Wolf after passing
his brother, Sacha, for second.
The number 96 continued his
march forward and eventually
capitalized on de Wolf's mistake
at the exit of the pit lane with five
laps left in the race. Lucas out-
braked de Wolf into the upcom
-
ing turn and took over the top
spot where he'd remain for the
final laps. De Wolf took second
to his teammate with Triumph's
Camden Mc Lellan in third.
De Wolf used his sand exper
-
tise in race two and made his
way to the lead by the second
turn. He again came under fire
from teammate Lucas Coenen,
but the young Belgian fell while
attempting to pass. By the time
he rebounded from his mistake,
de Wolf was too far gone, and
the two Husqvarna riders would
swap positions in the day's over
-
all rankings. De Wolf's 2-1 gave
him his third overall win in a row
as he further extended his points
lead to 29 over Simon Laengen-
felder. Lucas Coenen's 1-2
earned him second on the day,
while Mc Lellan's 3-5 finishes put
him third overall. This marked
the first overall podium for Mc
Lellan's career and the second
for the new Monster Energy
Triumph team.
"In the first race, I didn't really
find a good flow," de Wolf said.
"And credit to Lucas [Coenen], he
was pretty fast when he passed
me. Big shout-out to him. In the
second moto, I backed off a little
bit because I knew Lucas was
behind me and we could fight
until the flag. He made a little
mistake towards the end, which
made my life easier—but I'm
super happy with the results this
weekend. Three in a row—it's
honestly amazing."
