Van de Moosdijk takes the redplate in Lommel!
As expected, Roan van de Moosdijk has taken over the lead in the European 250cc Championship. The Kawasaki rider managed to completely eliminate a 13-point deficit to Stephen Rubini. The 18-year-old rider managed to win both heats on the Lommel circuit. Kevin Horgmo (3-3) finished second in the day's standings ahead of the exceptionally strong Mikkel Haarup (2-8). Raivo Dankers (15th) and Kay Ebben (17th) manage to get into the points in the second round, the other Dutch and Belgians remain scoreless.
When the starting gate goes down, Van de Moosdijk gets off to a great start and takes the lead ahead of Horgmo, Raivo Dankers, Bastian Boegh Damm and Caleb Grothues. In the first round, Dankers takes over second place from Horgmo, but leader Van de Moosdijk has flown and comes out of the first round with more than a two-second lead! The Eindhove native manages to build up a lead of 32 seconds, but then he falls briefly. He loses 12 seconds due to the fall, but the lead is never in danger. Alberto Forato comes back very strong after a poor start and the Italian finishes second ahead of Horgmo, Boegh Damm and Ken Bengtson. Dankers rides in the leading group for a long time, but the Yamaha team crashes and drops back to fifteenth place. Ebben also scores points, but the other Laaglanders are thanked for their efforts but do not manage to score.
In three weeks we will know who will be the new champion in this strong championship. The final will be held on August 24-25 at the Uddevalla circuit where the Swedish Grand Prix is held.
