MX2
The first race of MX2 saw the
points leader Kay de Wolf take
his first holeshot of the year be
-
fore being quickly overtaken by
Sacha Coenen and Liam Everts
on the opening lap. Everts and
de Wolf then found themselves
on the ground together in the
early stages of the race, which
forced them to work through
the field in successive order.
At the front, the two Coenen
brothers led the way and duked
it out for the lead. Lucas Coenen
(Husqvarna) overtook his KTM-
mounted brother as he ran off
with the race win. Sacha later
suffered two big crashes, which
hampered his early-race success
and allowed his KTM teammate
Andrea Adamo to slide into
second. With three laps to go, de
Wolf clawed his way into third
and kept his chances alive for an
overall podium.
The brothers again found
themselves up front as Sacha
Coenen rebounded with a hole
-
shot in race two before relin-
quishing the lead to his brother,
Lucas, again on lap two. Behind
them, battles ensued, as Simon
Laengenfelder and Mikkel Haa-
rup duked it out with some ag-
gressive passes. Laengenfelder
pushed his way to third, while
points leader de Wolf capitalized
and moved into second place.
Torrential rains began with 10
minutes left in the race, but it
was smooth sailing for Coenen
who swept the weekend with
1-1 finishes. De Wolf finished
second overall with 3-2 scores
and maintains the champion
-
ship lead by 52 points. Adamo
rounded out the overall podium
with 2-4 finishes.
