from P20 today, I had to push
hard. In the second race, I was
more aggressive early on, found
a good rhythm, and just rode
smoothly. It felt like a practice
session, as I felt super good the
whole way through. Lommel and
Riola are probably the toughest
tracks on the calendar, so to
battle and win it here is not too
bad for 33 years old."
MX2
The first race of the MX2
class saw an all-out battle
between two sand specialists—
Red Bull KTM's Sacha Coenen
and Nestaan Husqvarna's Kay
de Wolf. Coenen grabbed the
holeshot and rocketed off to the
lead in the first half of the race.
The defending champ, de Wolf,
ran second and made his move
for the lead on lap 13. Coenen
stayed in the hunt but crashed
spectacularly shortly after be
-
ing passed. This crash took the
pressure off de Wolf and al-
lowed him to take the opening
win over Camden McLellan and
Simon Laengenfelder. Coenen
remounted for fifth ahead of
points leader Liam Everts.
Race two was another battle
between the MX2 heavyweights.
Former champ Andrea Adamo
got out front to the early lead with
de Wolf once again closely in
tow. The number one Husqvarna
passed for the lead on lap four,
but Adamo wasn't finished yet.
After six laps at the front, de Wolf
went down and handed the lead
back to the Italian native, Adamo.
The KTM rider proceeded to put
de Wolf nine seconds down as
the race wound down. But on
the final lap, de Wolf's charge
paid off as he passed for the
lead and sealed the overall with
1-1 results. With double wins, he
now reclaims the points lead by
eight over Laengenfelder, while
Everts drops to third. Adamo
still claimed second in the race
but went 4-2 for third overall.
Triumph's Camden McLellan fin
-
ished on the podium once again
in race two and earned second
overall with 2-3 results.
"That last lap was crazy,"
said de Wolf. "Andrea [Adamo]
missed the table, and I almost
landed on him. Our heart rates
were sky-high! But I went inside
on the final corner, hoped for the
best, and took the win. Going
1-1 today after a tough one in
Saint Jean d'Angely is amazing.
I struggled in France with the
last gate picks. But we bounced
back big this weekend, got the
red plate back, and now I'm just
going to enjoy the tripleheader
and do my best."
