Jippe Selen is now also the leader in the National Championship
Jippe Selen has taken victory for the second consecutive time in the MX 2 Youth class. Selen was once again supreme at the Nieuw Zevenbergen motor park and won both heats. “Best of the rest” was again Eric van Helvoirt who was the only one who could stay close and with two second places he also finished second in the daily rankings. Based on the second heat, the last podium place went to Sjef Platte. After a fourth place in the first heat, he finished third in the second heat with Wessel van Wijk behind him. Fifth place went to Danilo Riemsdijk with two fifth place finishes in the heats.
In the National Championship standings, Selen is now also the new leader on nine points, followed by van Helvoirt. Jesse Spierings (fall during time training) and Kailey Hijnen (not present) drop out of the top ten. Jeffrey Wiegmans and Jesse van Daal now report in ninth and tenth place.
First heat
Selen was the fastest ahead of van Helvoirt, van Wijk, Platte and Lenn Daniels. The fun was quickly over for Daniels due to a fall and it was Alec Blokland who finished fifth on the first pass. The battle for space at the front was quickly over. Selen quickly took a lead from Helvoirt and van Wijk and Platte had to leave a gap with the front two. Blokland was quickly overtaken by van Riemsdijk, who caught up with Platte but finished five seconds in fifth place.
Second heat
It was Selen again who quickly took the lead ahead of Helvoirt van Wijk. With fourth place, van Riemsdijk was now in good shape, followed by Platte. However, van Riemsdijk quickly crashed and fell back to fifth place. Platte passed van Wijk and now finished third. Selen quickly took the lead again and van Helvoirt in turn ran away from third place. Behind them, Riemsdijk again fought his way to third place, but he fell back to fifth again. Selen again won the heat ahead of Helvoirt. Platte now held van Wijk behind him for third place. Just behind these two, Riemsdijk again crossed the finish line in fifth place.
