Many fans were delighted by the fact that finally another race would be held at Gallina Moto Cross Park, and so they came in droves. In the Kings’ Class, the Open/125cc Class, crowds witnessed the expected win by Tommy Gous, but Brannigan Wise unexpectedly made it a really tough race for him.

Especially in the Wesbank King of the Dirt race the duel between those two was noteworthy. Kai Pritzen, who ranked third, kept up quite nicely as well.
