Arnhem LIVE: Kucherov keeps Liam Everts from winning
The difference was barely more than one second, but Liam Everts narrowly lost to Nikita Kucherov in the first 125cc heat. Frenchman Saad Soulimani surprisingly finished third ahead of Kay Karssemakers and Scott Smulders.
In the last 10 minutes, Everts chased leader Kucherov, but was just unable to pass. Ivano Van Erop, the fastest during timed training, missed his start and had to come back from the back. Van Erp finally achieved seventh place.
