Koen Hermans/Ben van den Bogaart won the ONK in Oss. With two victories in the heats, the duo was unassailable. Keuben/Rietman were able to chase twice and came second overall. The Leferink brothers came third twice.
In the first heat, Hermans/Van den Bogaart immediately took the holeshot and there was quite a commotion behind this when Foden's left box came into contact with Keuben's right sidecar. The English combination flew towards the outside bend and hit an air cushion hard, but miraculously everyone was able to continue. Hermans/Van den Bogaart gained more and more of a lead each lap and ultimately crossed the line as winners. Keuben/Rietman could only follow from a distance. Leferink rode strongly and halfway through the race it looked like they could get to Keuben, but that didn't work and they finished third. Prümmer/Lebreton rode a solid race and finished fourth in the sand of Oss. Van Werven/Van der Wiel were in fifth place for a long time, but in the final phase Weijers/Van Hal came on strong and took fifth place from Van Werven, who would therefore become sixth.
In the second heat there was another holeshot for Hermans. At the top of the hill, everything seemed to be going well with all the combinations that had started, but when diving down towards the second corner, a traffic jam occurred, which particularly affected Wilkinson/Millard and Van Werven/Van der Wiel. Keuben/Rietman were now able to catch up with Hermans in the initial phase and the crowd hoped for a fight for the lead. It would never get to that point. Hermans/Van de Bogaart suddenly ran away again and deservedly took the victory in the second heat and therefore also became the winner of the day. Keuben/Rietman finished second again with Leferink coming third again. They also went to the day stage in this order. Prümmer did well again and finished fourth. Foden/Humprey finished fifth after a strong heat and had a good day after their perilous adventure at the start of the first heat in tenth place. Sanders/Steegmans rode a solid sand race and took sixth place, just ahead of Vos/Susebeek at seventh.
The result of the ONK in Oss is also the standings of the championship that continues on March 30 with the second match in Oldebroek.
