IMBA: Mulders and Van de Wiel increase lead.
Frank Mulders and Henry van de Wiel (NL) won the day in the IMBA sidecar in Norley, England. The duo managed to win both heats and thus increase their lead in the European Championship standings. With a third and second place in the heats, the Swiss Marco Boller and Maruis Strauss finished second in the overall standings. The second Dutch duo on the podium were Mike Keuben & Lars de Laat who achieved a second and fourth place in the heats. Tony Grahame and Harley Lloyd, riding at home, took fourth place in the daily rankings. The Germans Tim Prümmer & Tobias Lange continue to compete well in the battle for the top places of the European Championship with a fifth place in the daily rankings. The best Belgian combination were Christof van der Veken & Dave Gorris with eighth place in the daily rankings. This time the sidecars rode two heats instead of the usual three heats due to a heavy fall during the IMBA ladies.
In the European Championship standings, Mulders & van de Wiel have a lead of 48 points over Keuben & de Laat. Boller & Strauss follow in third place. Prümmer & Lange are fourth. Thom van de Lagemaat & Han van Hal (NL) were not present and are out of the top five. The fifth is now occupied by Sam Osbaldiston & Nathen Cooper (GB). The best Belgian combination is once again Van der Veken & Gorris, who are in eighth place.
