rolling with a big win in race one
of the MX2 division. He followed
the early leader, Sacha Coenen,
in the opening laps but made his
move for the lead before running
away with the opening-moto win,
his ninth of the season.
Yamaha's Thibault Benistant
rode a smooth race for second
despite trouble in the early
stages of the race. He trailed de
Wolf by only three seconds at
the line.
Everts carried his pace from
Saturday's qualifying race to take
third in race one.
Race two spelled trouble for
de Wolf as he found himself on
the ground in turn one. Simon
Laengenfelder put his GasGas
up front as he ran away with the
early race lead. Laengenfelder
held it down in P1 for the entirety
of race two, claiming his second
race win of the season and the
12th of his career.
Everts again started towards
the front and moved into sec
-
ond on lap six. The pass proved
significant as it gave him the
edge in the overall rankings.
Italy's Andrea Bonacorsi crossed
the line third in front of his home
country. Race-one winner, de
Wolf fell again during the race
and finished eighth in the moto.
1-8 results dropped him off the
podium to fourth.
Everts' 3-2 earned him his
first overall win of the year with
Benistant taking second via 2-4
scores. Laengenfelder's win in
race two bumped him to third
overall.
"It wasn't a perfect weekend,
but we got the job done," said
Everts. "It's nice to be back on
top, especially at this iconic ven

ue. I had struggled in Sardinia,
so I wanted to do better and get
on the podium. I wanted to get
that burden off my shoulders,
and I hope now I have that sense
of freedom to continue."
