to 12 motos and now leads the championship by
70 points. Behind Herlings was the ever-inconsis-
tent Max Anstie whose 2-2 results were the first
time he's finished inside the top 10 in both motos
of an event. He battled hard with Jeremy See-
wer who is the exact opposite of Anstie, having
scored podium finishes at the last five rounds.
Seewer now sits comfortably second in the
championship, 37 points ahead of Pauls Jonass
who didn't have a great GP in front of his home
fans. A first-moto third was followed by a 14th as
multiple crashes left the Latvian down the field on
a track that was tricky to pass on (for everyone
except Gajser).
On his return to action after missing four
rounds, French rider Dylan Ferrandis put in two
good performances that suggest that once he's
back to full health, he'll spice up the battle for
second place. Unfortunately though for the rest
of the field, Herlings just looks so good right now
that aiming any higher than second would be
futile.
In the European 250 class, American Darian
Sanayei backed up his good first round in the
Netherlands with a podium spot for round two.
His 6-3 results were good enough for third place
and moves him up to sixth in the championship.
With eight rounds still remaining, there are plenty
of chances for him to move up even further as he
grows more accustomed to life in Europe.
