Dutch Masters 85cc: Doensen for Van Mechgelen
In Axel, Gyan Doensen has taken over the lead in the Dutch Masters of Motocross 85cc. The Husqvarna rider won both heats on the RES Axel circuit. Douwe Van Mechgelen came second but lost the lead in the standings. Ian Ampoorter (6-2) can climb onto the podium.
Doensen now has a six-point lead over Van Mechgelen with two games to go. With 24 riders, it is a small starting field for a Dutch Masters of Motocross competition
Victory Doensen, strong catch-up race Bervoets
In the training Doensen is the fastest man, but when the starting gate falls Van Mechgelen takes the best start while Lucas Spigeleer also gets off to a very good start, followed by Doensen. Not a good start for Jarne Bervoets, but he managed to move from ninth to third place in the first lap.
The trio at the front distances itself until the leader makes a mistake. Doensen takes over the lead and he will not relinquish it. Bervoets comes second ahead of Van Mechgelen and 11-year-old Dean Gregoire. The top five is completed by Tyla van de Poel.
Van Mechgelen makes the mistake, Doensen benefits
In the second moto Doensen has the lead for two laps, but then Van Mechgelen passes. Just like in the first heat, he makes a mistake in the sixth round and falls. Doensen takes back the lead and he also wins the second heat. Ampoorter has the best final phase and he manages to pass fellow countryman Van de Poel before the sign of the last lap. Ampoorter therefore comes second ahead of Van de Poel and Van Mechgelen. The top five is now completed by Dex Kooiker.
Next time:
The Dutch Masters will continue on June 12 at the Delfzijl circuit. The last race will be held on Saturday, June 18 at the Rhenen circuit.
