Jacky Tausch takes title with a full score in Bergharen
With his seventh day victory of the year, Jacky Tausch has won the Dutch title in the MX open inters class for the fourth time in a row in Bergharen. On the circuit at the Aaldert it was the sixth time this season that he took the day's victory with the full 120 points. While Tausch was closely followed by Bram van den Hoek throughout the first heat, in the second heat the difference was already quite large halfway through the heat and he was able to ride unthreatened to the heat victory and thus to the title.
Second place went to van den Hoek twice. The last place on the podium was based on the second heat with a fourth and third place in the heats for Erik de Bruyn. He kept Teun Cooymans off the podium. Stan van Zoggel also achieved fifth place in the daily rankings with two fifth places in the heats.
In the MX2 inters class, the title battle also seems to be decided during the last race on October 30 in Meijel. Despite Jelle Bankers losing ten points off his lead with a third place in the daily rankings, Bankers can only escape the title if he is disqualified in both heats in Meijel. Not even participating would give him the title, but it can be hoped that he will also be at the start in Meijel as a true champion. With the day's victory in Bergharen, Jamie Lucas took over second place in the standings from Kevin Buitenhuis, who had to make do with fourth place in the daily rankings. Ilja Rutten will hope for a good day in Meijel. With second place in the daily rankings, he can continue to hope for a podium place in the championship.
