Monster Energy Yamaha rider Jago Geerts continues his impressive run at the moment with victory in the MX2 qualification race in Italy today. Around the very tough sand circuit the Belgian took the lead early from his team-mate Thibault Benistant and walked away with the victory.

Jago Geerts: I thought I had the holeshot, but drifted wide and a couple of riders came under me. I found my good lines and took the lead. It is hot out there, so we will see how it goes tomorrow.

Benistant, Horgmo, Geerts, Mewse, Langenfelder, Boegh Damm, Adamo, Gifting, Karssmakers, and Rubini in 10^th. Vialle was 11^th. Geerts took the lead and on lap seven the top ten was Geerts, Horgmo, Benistant, Langenfelder, Mewse, Adamo, Vialle, Brumann, Fredrricksen, Haarup in 10^th. Liam Everts was 13^th and Rubini 11^th.

Vialle moved past Mewse to drop the British rider back to seventh, and Everts rode his way into the top ten as he passed Brumann. On lap 11 the top ten was Geerts, Benistant, Horgmo, Langenfelder, Adamo, Vialle, Mewse, Haarup, Everts and Brumann.
