speed he's capable of in good
conditions. He crossed first
and claimed his first Grand Prix
overall of the year, the second of
his career. Adamo passed up to
fourth and took second overall
with 1-4 finishes. Everts held on
for second in the moto and took
third overall with 3-2 results. De
Wolf finished third in race two,
but was off the podium in fourth
for the overall classification. Still,
he holds the championship lead
by 44 points.
"The last few races have been
really tough on me," Coenen
said. "I'm not 100 percent yet
with my shoulder, and I'm still
battling with it, but today I man

aged to win. This was a brutal
weekend. In the first moto, I was
frustrated because I couldn't
pass somebody. Then in the
second moto, I just tried to focus
on getting my rhythm going. I got
into third and then into the lead,
and I tried to control the gap as
best as I could. I hope that now
we have finally got the win, we
can keep this pace up for the
rest of the year and see where
we end up!"
"I felt really good all weekend
here," Adamo said. "It was a
bummer that we had a clash in
the qualification heat and P16
meant I was out of the [Saturday]
points and it was not easy for to

day. I made a good start, though,
and led the whole moto. I was
consistent and managed the gap
and then had to step it up a bit at
the end. I was very happy to win.
In the second moto, I messed
up the start but, overall, it was a
solid weekend, and I'm pleased
to be on the podium."
"I'm happy to be sitting here
because I felt pretty bad all day,"
Everts said. "A lot of stomach
pain and, whatever I ate, came
up straightaway. Two solid
starts, and I surprised myself
a little bit, but I gave my all and
took what I could. I kept a cool
head and did what I could."
