Ken De Dycker:
"It's been quite a good day for me, I got a pretty good start in the first race and I was just taking it easy and I moved into the lead without pushing too hard and but then Marc ( De Reuver) came by so I tried to follow his lines and not make too many mistakes but then I lost concentration a little bit and ended up stuck in the green fencing. It took me a long time to get out of it and that wasn't so good. I got another okay start and I came through okay but by the halfway point it started to get a little crazy because everyone was riding like it was the last lap or something. A lot of people made a lot of mistakes but I was able to keep going and it was good to win.
I knew this was going to be a tough race and the track was very difficult to ride but I'm very pleased to win a moto and also to take second overall. I'm also happy to take points from both the riders ahead of me in the championship. I know it's easy to say 'if' about things but I know that if I hadn't made that mistake in the first race then I'd have caught up a lot more points but I learnt a lot from today and that's a good thing in itself."
Max Nagl:
"I was very confident today, I've been living in Belgium for three years so I like riding in the sand. It's no problem for me. I took the holeshot in the first race and I was really pushing but I got tired in the end and finished in fifth .I broke the roll off mechanism so I couldn't see in the rain and mud so I had to throw away my goggles.

MX2 CLASS
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Tyla Rattray took a step closer to the title by winning the GP of Benelux with a double moto victory. Teammate and runner up in the Championship Tommy Searle took second while Ricci Racing Yamaha's Nicolas Aubin completed the podium at the end of two hard fought motos. Other Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Rui Goncalves and KTM UK's Shaun Simpson rounded off the top five ahead of Gert Krestinov and Matiss Karro, both who gave superb performances.
Steven Frossard crashed and was injured in the second moto. After he was taken to the hospital to remove a brake peg that penetrated the lower part of his body Frossard is now okay. The fracture to his fibula will prevent him from racing Faenza and the Red Bull MXoN as the new French Team's line up will be announced soon.
MX2 MOTO 1
Rattray won a hard fought first moto which started with Goncalves on the lead; the Portuguese tried to pull away and set quite a good pace until Rattray and Searle caught up with him to move past eventually. In the final laps Searle chased down Rattray but crossed the chequered flag in second. Goncalves was third ahead of Aubin as Roelants rounded off the top five. Karro took ninth after spending the first laps in the top five while sand specialist Gert Krestinov was twelfth after a couple of crashes.
MX2 MOTO 2
Krestinov took an early lead then Rattray moved past to take a dominant win from Searle, who tried once again to come closer to the Championship leader. Again Aubin worked his way up to third after a troubled start while Goncalves and Krestinov rounded off the top five. Latvian Karro ended eighth after having ridden with the front runners in the early stages.
Frossard and Roelants crashed at the end of the opening lap and the Frenchman ended to the hospital with a broken fibula and part of a brake peg inside the lower part of his body. The peg was successfully removed and the rider is now ready to recover.
