Cédric Grobben wins VLM classic on and around Reetse Kleiput!
As tradition has it, the VLM contested its last match of the 'regular season' on and around "De Klak". The Reetse clay pit was therefore the battleground for this 'classic'. During the timed training, reigning VLM champion Jens Van Meer, Cédric Grobben and Wouter Van Massenhoven stayed ahead.
Jens Van Meer also managed to pass fast starter Kenny Janssens in the first lap without any problem. Already in the first round, the Flemish Brabander had to give up on reigning champion Jens Van Meer. Behind them, Cédric Grobben managed to fight from fourth to second place. 'Janssens ultimately finished third ahead of a strong recovery from Wouter Van Massenhoven and Jonathan Banken.
In the revival it was Cédric Grobben who came out on top. The Limburger quickly displaced fast starter Kenny Janssens. Janssens would eventually finish third, after Jens Van Meer and ahead of the strongly recovering Jonathan Banken. The recovery of the day, however, came from Wouter Van Massenhoven who, after a missed start, managed to fight back to fifth place.
Banken from Liège won the 250cc classification ahead of former world champion Sven Breugelmans and Dieter Vromans. In the Inters-500cc, the overall victory went to Cédric Grobben, ahead of Jens Van Meer and Kenny Janssens.
