Tanel Leok doubles in ADAC MX Masters
Nearly 7.500 spectators attended despite the heat their way to the 5th round of the ADAC MX Masters in Tensfeld. Tanel Leok (A1M Husqvarna) dominated the race and won both heats. Julien Lieber was third on the podium.
Considering the competition, it may have been surprising, but in the end Estonian veteran Tanel Leok took control of the match in Tensfeld twice. Exactly 18 years ago, 'the Estonian Express' took the junior world on the same circuit. Compatriot Harri Kullas led until half the race in the first moto. Due to problems with the clutch, Kullas was unable to go full speed. Julien Lieber had to return twice after poor starts. In any case, the fastest man of the day was Tanel Leok.
For Jeffrey Dewulf (Sarholz KTM) Tensfeld was a missed opportunity. Title rival Jacobi struggled all weekend to reach his level. Dewulf was not able to benefit enough from this because he had to come back from very far in the first race. Jeffrey rode a fantastic comeback race, but with his speed there could have been even more. In the second heat the stylish West Flemish rider finished fourth. He turned almost identical lap times to those of Kawasaki factory rider Julien Lieber.
Jens Getteman had to settle for seventh place in the first series in Tensfeld, but dropped out in the second. Brent Van Doninck also only scored in one heat. Although he was only 22nd in the first round, Dietger Damiaens stormed to 14th place in the final round. Immediately his best ADAC MX Masters result. Lars Van Berkel was the best Dutchman in Tensfeld, but Roy Van Heugten also showed up in Germany. Roy finished 14th in the opening race.
