Good 125cc debut for Dean Gregoire
Dean Gregoire made an excellent debut on a 125cc motorcycle last Saturday. The Voss KTM Racing rider competed in the MX2 youth class during Motorsport Organisatie Nederland competitions in Geldermalsen. Gregoire was supreme in both heats and he won the heats with a difference of 37 and 26 seconds. With a third and second place in the heats, second place went to Noam Blomme. Based on the second heat he kept Alex van Weerdenburg behind him. Van den Weerdenburg increased his lead in the championship standings because Dani Koot dropped out in qualifying with a broken engine and therefore had to miss the race.
With two fourth places in the heats and fourth place in the daily classification, the Belgian Troy Dendooven also managed to benefit from this. This now puts him within two points behind Koot in the standings. The top five of the daily rankings were completed by Stein Kanters.
