Dani Hoffard and Gymano Besems completed the top five.
First round of the NK quads Varsseveld.
After a red flag situation, we had to take a seat behind the starting gate for the second time. It was Keunen who was the best ahead of Roks, Maryn Konst, Sem Ende and Koolhaas. In the first lap Konst was passed by Ende, Koolhaas and Jansen. It was Jansen who also passed Koolhaas and finished fourth. In the following laps, Jansen managed to pass Ende and Roks to take over second place. All this passed Keunen by, who had now built up a nice lead. Koolhaas passed Ende on the fifth lap, but one lap later he came to a standstill with a broken sprocket. As a result, it was Hoffard who now entered the top five. Jansen passed Roks and came second. Hoffard passed Ende and joined Jansen and Roks. Jansen had to leave second place to Roks on the seventh lap and was also passed by Hoffard on the next lap. Keunen won the heat with a wide lead over Roks, Hoffard and Jansen. Besems also managed to pass Ende and finished fifth.
Second round of the NK quads Varsseveld.
Now it was Roks who had the best start ahead of Jansen, Koolhaas, Hoffard and Konst. Jansen and Konst quickly fell back and after one lap Koolhaas came second ahead of Hoffard, van Lenning and Ende. Van Lenning then passed Hoffard and started the hunt for Koolhaas and Roks. Koolhaas took over the lead from Roks on the third lap and Keunen had now found a good rhythm and passed Ende and Jansen to take over fifth place. A little later he also managed to pass Hoffard. Van Lenning drove lap times that were two seconds faster than Koolhaas and Roks. He first passed Roks to take the lead from Koolhaas on the eighth lap. Rick van den Berg passed Hoffard and now finished fifth. In the last lap there was bad luck again for Koolhaas. Due to a broken suspension, he came to a stop against a pole and broke off his handlebars. This caused the men behind him to move up one place. Van Lenning won the heat ahead of Roks, Keunen and van den Berg. Hoffard still came within the top five due to Koolhaas' bad luck.
