lead the championship, now 36
points clear of Prado.
"It's amazing to finally get a
win here in Loket," said Gajser.
"I've had some good moments
here, but never been able to take
the victory, so this is just a great
feeling. I didn't have the best first
moto, but we worked together
as a team to improve things for
race two and I immediately felt a
lot better. I got a good start, put
pressure on the leader, and then
made a move midway through
and controlled the rest of the
race."

After a red-flag restart, the race
for MX2 supremacy was on.
Both Coenen brothers found
themselves up front, with KTM-
mounted Sacha leading the early
laps. The Husqvarna of Lucas
moved to the lead on lap three
and ran away up front while
Simon Laengenfelder and Liam
Everts duked it out for the final
spots on the box. Points leader
Kay de Wolf pushed forward
after a poor start and made key
passes throughout the race. On
the final lap, he slipped by to
take third, rounding out the po

Lucas Coenen.
Race two again saw Everts
up front and leading early on.
A tip-over proved costly for the
young KTM rider, as it allowed
Triumph's Mikkel Haarup to
close the gap and trade the lead
back and forth. Laengenfelder
also joined the conversation
up front and challenged for the
top spot, taking the lead on lap
eight. Eventually, de Wolf made
his way to the front group after
a poor start. He passed both
Everts and Laengenfelder with
three to go and held on for the
win and the overall. Scores of
3-1 earned him the day's victory,
extending his points lead to 46
