laps and seized control of the
race. From there, Lucas Coenen
steadily increased the gap and
eventually won by more than 20
seconds over Gajser in second.
Adamo's race came to an end
when he retired midway through
the moto, bumping Alberto Forato
to third place and Oriol finishing
closely behind in fourth. That
result moved Oriol to third overall
for the day behind Lucas Coenen
and Gajser. Guadagnini com-
pleted the top five, followed by
Brent van Doninck, who made an
impressive charge from outside
the top 10. Jago Geerts recovered
from a first-corner crash with
Andrea Bonacorsi to fight from
last to 10th.
MX2
While Lucas Coenen controlled
the premier class, the MX2 divi-
sion belonged to his twin brother,
Sacha. The opening moto began
with Sacha grabbing the holeshot
but was quickly passed by Janis
Reisulis in the second corner. A
mistake in the same turn dropped
Sacha Coenen outside the top
five, allowing Reisulis to lead for
much of the race. However, a
late mistake by Reisulis dropped
him off the podium and allowed
Sacha Coenen to reclaim the lead
and the moto win. Ferruccio Zan-
chi impressed in his debut aboard
the new Ducati 250 and finished
second, with Simon Laengen-
felder rounding out the podium.
Scott Smulders delivered a strong
performance in fourth, ahead of
Reisulis in fifth.
Sacha Coenen led from start
to finish in the second MX2 moto
and won by a margin of more
than 20 seconds over defending
MX2 World Champion Laengen-
felder. Cas Valk rode strong for
third in moto two, with Reisulis
and Smulders rounding out the
top five. Laengenfelder's per-
formance in race two earned
him second overall, with Zanchi
taking the final spot on the overall
podium.
