Sasha Coenen is really showing great speed of late and finally being very consistent in his results. The teenager from Belgium won the MX2 qualifier in China with a flag to flag victory. Second was red plate man, Simon Langenfelder and third Valerio Lata. Kay De Wolf finished in fourth spot, to lost a couple of points on Langenfelder in the championship battle.

Sasha Coenen: It is kind of sketchy, the track, but happy to get P1 and really looking forward to tomorrow.
