A huge surprise at the start of the MX1 moto as Xavier Boog leads early from Clement Desalle, David Philippaerts, Ken De Dycker, Max Nagl, Steve Ramon, Evgeny Bobryshev, Kevin Strijbos, Marc De Reuver and Gareth Swanepoel. Back in 12^th place after two laps was Antonio Cairoli.

Desalle passed Boog for the lead on lap two, while De Dycker was right on Boogs back wheel after passing Philippaerts.

Boog and De Dycker passes Desalle, then De Dycker passes Boog for the lead in a very exciting race. Philippaerts and Desalle got into a nice little battle as they fought for third place. Cairoli had moved up to ninth place after nine laps.

After 11 laps it was De Dycker, Philippaerts, Boog, Desalle, Nagl, Ramon, Bobryshev, Cairoli, Strijbos and Guarneri in 10^th. Cairoli made up some time and was soon right behind Bobryshev and Ramon.  Cairoli was trying everything for passing , eventually getting him and then setting out after Ramon.

De Dycker led by eight seconds at the end winning ahead of Philippaerts, Desalle, Boog, Nagl, Cairoli, Ramon, Bobryshev, Strijbos, Leok, Guarneri, Boissiere, Swanepoel, Coppins and Alberton in 15^th place.

Nagl led the second MX1 moto from Cairoli, Boog, Desalle, Swanepoel, De Dycker, Bobryshebv, Philippaerts, De Reuver, and Guarnier in 10^th place. Leok went down in turn two and was last.

Boog soon took the lead from Nagl and Cairoli also went past Nagl. Desalle was looking really strong as he pushed towards the leaders. Desalle passed Cairoli as the two collided on two occasions. Boog was riding amazing as he held of the two super hot riders.

Desalle put on a pass on Boog and started moving away as De Dycker also started putting pressure on both Boog and Cairoli. De Dycker also passed Boog as he moved into third place and needed to pass Cairoli for second to have a chance of the GP overall.

De Dycker eventually moved into second place as Cairoli let him pass on a jump. The Belgian on his 26^th birthday was looking to add to his other GP victories. De Dycker also picked up the pace and moved closer to Desalle for the moto win and the GP victory was being fought between the two Belgian riders. De Dycker just slipped through under Desalle for the race lead.

Cairoli closed right up on De Dycker as the race closed down, however the Belgian was looking strong as he continued to put down some consistent lap times. De Dycker won by half a bike length winning the moto and the GP. The two riders cuddled after crossing the finish line.

Ken De Dycker comments

"How can I describe this, it's perfect on my birthday and I hope for the next one it is also like this. I am really glad, it was hard work, I had goos starts and that makes a big different and that is where the team and mechanic have been working for."

Clement Desalle comments

The track was so special, difficult to pass, I think it would be better for the public and the riders if there were more chances to pass. I really had difficulty passing people."

David Philippaerts comments

It was hard for me today and in the second moto more than the first. i am happy for my second heat it was difficult for me. After the first moto I was a little sick and really tired."
