Van de Moosdijk wins the first round in Russia!
Roan van de Moosdijk has wonderful memories of the beautiful Orlyonok circuit. In 2016, the Brabander finished second in the FIM Junior World Championship behind Jago Geerts. Today the Kawasaki rider has created even more wonderful memories of the race in Russia. The first heat during the fourth race of the European 250cc Championship was won by Van de Moosdijk! Austrian Rene Hofer came second ahead of Stephen Rubini. The Honda rider did well in the championship as Alberto Forato did not get further than fourteenth place after sliding on the finish hump. The Italian is still in the lead, but Rubini is only behind by five points! A great performance by Rick Elzinga, the Yamaha rider finished eighth, while fellow countrymen Raf Meuwissen (12th) and Raivo Dankers (15th) also managed to get into the points.
