tremely rough and sketchy. There
was a lot of water put down after
the break. I got caught a few
times in mudholes, and my bike
went sideways. However, I re-
grouped, controlled my pace, and
managed to take the win."
MX2
All the heavy hitters came to play
in the MX2 division, with Simon
Laengenfelder taking the early
lead in race one. The GasGas
rider held the top spot for most
of the moto but tucked the front
end and fell out of first place. He'd
later cross the line in sixth. This
mistake allowed points leader
Kay de Wolf to sneak through to
the lead, and despite a late-race
mistake, the Husqvarna rider held
on to the moto win. Behind him,
defending MX2 Champion, Andrea
Adamo battled his way to second
as Triumph's Mikkel Haarup fell
out of the position on the final lap.
Haarup remounted in third and
claimed the final spot on the box.
Sacha Coenen crossed the
holeshot line first in race two
and faced drastically different
conditions as the track crew
heavily overwatered the circuit.
He led early on but later dropped
down to fourth. The two factory
Husqvarna riders, de Wolf and
Lucas Coenen, worked past the
early leader and battled in the
mud for the top spot. De Wolf
held on for the win, crossing
the line by less than a second
over his teammate. This was his
first 1-1 sweep of the year, as
de Wolf extends his points lead
to 65 over second place. Lucas
Coenen took second in the moto
but finished third overall with 7-2
scores behind Adamo, who used
a 2-3 for second on the day.
"Today's races were quite differ
-
ent," said de Wolf. "The first was
dry, but the track was heavily wa-
tered for the second, resulting in
puddles everywhere. The second
moto was especially challeng
-
ing early on. Despite this, I made
some crucial passes and focused
on maintaining my speed. I'm
pleased with the adjustments we
made between races and thrilled
to secure this win."
