Radson Trophy: Keeno sets Bois Brulé on fire!
Ken De Dycker was looking forward to it. The fact that the Red Bull-KTM pilot was in optimal form for the occasion, rode the new KTM 450 for the first time and had Tanel Leok and Davide Guarneri as sparring partners, unfortunately turned out not to be a recipe for an exciting match. Keeno was outstanding today in Mons, he won the three heats. In fact, the Lubbeken resident took the lead every lap! Leok (2-2-2-2) and Guarneri (3-3-4) were on the podium. Yentel Martens, fourth in the final standings, achieved his best performance of the day in the final series. Martens held off Guarneri nicely and finished third. A regular Manuel Priem (5-5-5) finished fifth. All results here.
Series 1: De Dycker out of category!
Leok took the holeshot, but De Dycker and Guarneri were close. Keeno wasted no time and pressed on immediately. On the first table jump, just after the start, he took the lead. Ken was in the lead from start to finish. He managed to build up a huge lead over Leok, who managed to defeat Guarneri after a few laps. Despite a bad start, Yentel Martens managed to recover nicely. After 3 laps he was 6th, after Van Nooten and Wybo. However, five laps before the end, Wybo disappeared from the race. Manuel Priem finished fifth. From last place, Julien Lieber, on the SX-F 350, eventually rode to 11th place.

Two out of two for De Dycker
The copier worked great today. So the second round also became the perfect copy of the first. De Dycker piloted his brand new (2013 model) KTM SX-F 450 into the lead and never relinquished it. Once again Leok came second ahead of Guarneri. Behind the three top players, Jurgen Van Nooten, Jurgen Wybo and Roy Gijsel were in good form. When Gijsel had technical problems just after half the race, his chance of a top-5 place melted away like snow in the sun. Roy had to give up soon after. Van Daele took fourth place ahead of Priem who returned to his Diesels after a bad start. Jurgen Van Nooten finished sixth.

Keeno completes hat trick
After just 200 meters the match seemed to have reached a decisive point. De Dycker rode to the holeshot in a duel with Leok and then continued his momentum. That wonderful Jurgen Van Nooten also taught at the 'high school for fast starters'! Van Nooten would eventually finish sixth. After a bad start in the second heat, Yentel Martens was now also present at the front. The BeTeMo rider had a great race and finished third after Tanel Leok. Van Daele was unable to repeat his feat of the second heat and disappeared from the race quite early. Yerki Janvier achieved his best result of the day, the MC Mikkola rider finished 7th and also 7th in the final standings.
