Na Dutch, now also a Belgian pole in Teutschenthal with Clément Desalle. The MX-Panda led from the first to the last lap. Overtaking was difficult and we saw a typical train in which the positions were mainly determined by the start. The changes of positions at the front were therefore limited. Xavier Boog started the race in second place and also finished second. Guarneri, who set the fastest lap of the race, came third ahead of Bobryshev. Ken De Dycker came to third place but ultimately had to settle for seventh starting position for tomorrow.
Despite a knee injury (bursitis), Marc De Reuver rode a solid qualifying race. He finished 11th. Tanel Leok, the fastest in the pre-qualifying session, had bad luck with his starting gate but was able to limit the damage with a fourteenth place. World champion Cairoli will start tomorrow from thirteenth place. Steve Ramon lost a few more places in the final phase and finished eighth.

Jeffrey Herlings holds off Ken Roczen in MX2 qualifying
After the traditional KTM holeshot, Shaun Simpson this time, Jeffrey Herlings quickly took control. Roczen was able to move from third to second place. The young German put Herlings under pressure and the two drove away from the field. The audience was treated to a beautiful duel between the two young gods, but 'The bullet' ultimately won! After Mantova, the second pole for Jeffrey, who once again proved that he can keep a cool head under pressure.
Jeremy Van Horebeek finished fourth after his teammate Frossard. Joël Roelants finished 10th and Triest came in thirteenth. Unlucky man of the day was Dennis Verbruggen who crashed in the first lap and was then hit by Harri Kullas. It is said that the damage would not be too bad for Crusty.
