Regular Joe Maessen wins Varsseveld
Thanks to a regular performance by Joe Maessen, he won the sixth race of the KNMV Open Dutch Quad Championship. The Limburger won with a third and second place ahead of Jan Vlaeymans (7-1) and Ricardo Phoelich (1-7), who has digested the switch to Yamaha well. Maessen increases his lead, he is now nine points ahead of Vlaeymans.
First heat
Ruben van Lith makes the best start and he immediately manages to build up a lead. Valentino Roks and Phoelich follow at an appropriate distance, but Phoelich is fast. He takes over the lead, Vlaeymans follows and not much later Van Lith loses third place to Rick Haverdil. Vlaeymans tries to put pressure on Phoelich, but he cannot be deterred and he wins for the Belgian and Haverdil. Maessen, who started poorly, crosses the finish line in fourth place ahead of Van Lith. After the race, however, Vlaeymans is punished, his machine makes too much noise and he loses five places!
Second heat
Maessen is now off to a good start and he takes the lead ahead of Vlaeymans. He manages to take over the lead from Maessen in the first lap. Phoelich has problems in the initial phase and he has to come back from the backfield. Marc de Vries passes Maessen for second place, but the Limburger returns later in the match. Vlaeymans wins with a wide lead over Maessen. De Vries had to give up third place to Haverdil, but he had problems and did not finish. De Vries is now third ahead of Richard Ruttenberg and Van Lith.
The championship will continue on June 26, with racing on the Lommel circuit!
