After a week break the FIM Motocross World championship moved to the sandy Track in Oss for the MXGP of the Netherlands. The last time we had a World championship here in Oss was way back in 1998, when the Italian Chiodi won the GP 125cc. The Dutch sandy track “Witte Ruysheuvel” is located in the south and less than 50 km from Eindhoven.
During qualifying our Beta SDM Corse rider couldn’t find the right feeling with the new sandy track in Oss, and ranked 18th at the end. It was the first official sand race for the brand new factory Beta 450 RX, so Jeremy had to work hard to find the right set-up.
Jeremy started around 10th position in race 1, but in the first corner he was held up by a crashed rider and felt back to last position. Immediately he could pick up the right rythm and race pace, what brought him to a great 17th position in race 1.
Again a great start in the second race for Jeremy on his factory Beta 450 RX, and rounded the first lap in 14th. After a few laps he was in a fight for 12th position, The rider in front of him made a little crash, Jerre couldn’t avoid him and crashed also. He picked up his Beta again and tried to continue his race but he was forced to give up in the following lap.
See you all next week for the 5th round in Loket Czech Republik.
