Prado grabbed the holeshot in race one while many of his main competitors, including Jeffrey Herlings, Romain Febvre and Jeremy Seewer, went down in the first turn. This put Prado clearly in the lead as many new faces found themselves up at the front. Prado managed the race from the top spot and easily cruised to the race win. Behind him, Ruben Fernandez held down second before falling with two laps left in the race. This allowed Maxime Renaux to overtake second, while Fernandez took third. After falling in turn one, Herlings made his way to ninth with Febvre in 12th.

The KTM rider overtook the lead late in the race and found himself up front for the first time since the end of the 2021 season. Herlings went on to claim the race win and used 9-1 finishes to take third overall. Renaux battled with Prado and eventually moved into second with Prado taking third. Prado still took the overall win with 1-3 finishes over Renaux’s 2-2. The GasGas rider continues to lead the points by 17 over Renaux.

MX2 points leader Jago Geerts got a great jump in race one and put himself up front from the get-go. The war waged behind him as the KTMs of Liam Everts and Andrea Adamo battled for the final spots on the podium. Adamo, the Italian, made a key pass on his teammate, Everts, with just one lap remaining and took second at the checkers. Geerts claimed the win.

Simon Laengenfelder grabbed the lead early in race two and was followed closely again by Thibault Benistant, Everts and Adamo. Race one winner, Geerts, fell on lap one, making things difficult on himself. With Geerts out of the picture, Adamo was the man on the move and worked his way from fourth to second. Two second-place finishes earned him his first grand prix overall in front of his home crowd. Laengenfelder took the win in race two but finished fourth overall with a 9-1 on the day. Everts used two consistent thirds to claim second overall behind KTM teammate Adamo. Geerts clawed his way to seventh in race two and salvaged third overall at the end of the day. He still leads the points over Adamo and Benistant. CN
