Vialle, World Championship leader Renaux is further ahead of Geerts
With two victories, Tom Vialle has won his fifth Grand Prix of the season. The 20-year-old rider was the strongest on the Teutschenthal circuit in both heats. The French success is completed by Maxime Renaux finishing second during the German GP. Rene Hofer finishes third, it is the Austrian's first GP podium finish. Jago Geerts is good for fourth place today, but he does rise to second place in the standings. However, Renaux is 84 points ahead of his Belgian teammate.
1e some
After achieving his second pole position this season, Vialle grabbed his eighth FOX Holeshot Award of this year in the first heat. Hofer follows for Simon Längenfelder and that creates atmosphere for the spectators. Renaux follows ahead of teammate Geerts while Hofer takes the lead at the front! Thibault Benistant then tries to enter the top five, but the Frenchman misses the track. The EMX250 champion then crashes and has to give chase. Hofer takes distance while Renaux tries to displace the GasGas rider from third place. That takes almost eight minutes and the KTM riders already have an almost six-second lead over the World Cup leader. In the second half of this match, Vialle increases the pressure, but the Austrian does not give in easily. With eight minutes left on the race control clock, Vialle manages to take over the lead, but he is unable to break free. Hofer is receiving increasing pressure from Renaux, who was a maximum of eight seconds behind. The Yamaha rider takes the lead among the duo, but there is no real attack. Vialle wins ahead of Hofer and Renaux. Jed Beaton comes fourth ahead of Geerts, who briefly held fourth place but was unable to hold on. Geerts crosses the finish line in fifth place while De Wolf crosses the finish line in eighth place. Van de Moosdijk has to be satisfied with tenth place. Florent Lambillon (28th) and Julian Vander Auwera (DNF) did not score.

Vialle is also the best starter in the second heat, but he quickly sees compatriot Renaux pass him. When the 21-year-old Yamaha rider makes a mistake, Vialle returns to the lead. Benistant follows in third place ahead of De Wolf and Geerts who quickly passes the Husqvarna rider. After almost ten minutes of the race, Benistant makes a mistake and falls, after which teammate Geerts is fortunately able to pass him without any problems. This means that the top three are known, although Renaux is still trying to get his compatriot back, but he sees the danger. From seventh place, Hofer worked very strongly forward and when he took over fourth place he assured himself of a podium place during this GP. Beaton crosses the finish line in fifth place ahead of teammate De Wolf. Lambillon also finishes the second round, crossing the finish line in 27th place, while Van de Moosdijk unfortunately does not finish. We don't see Vander Auwera in action this round.
Next time:
This was the first of eight Grand Prix to be held in just 38 days! From Germany the championship travels to France.
