Brent van Doninck has made a strong comeback in the MXGP world championship in Loket. Van Doninck managed to finish eighth overall with eleventh and an eighth place in the motos. Words: JM Honda
Not counting Argentina, it had been a year since van Doninck had ridden a full Grand Prix. Of course, he still lacks rhythm but the feeling on the bike was good. On Saturday, van Doninck suffered a setback in the qualifying heat as he crashed during the first lap. He picked himself up and rode well until the finish.
In the motos on Sunday, van Doninck got a good start and rode well in the top ten for a long time in the first moto. He eventually finished eleventh and returned to the paddock satisfied. In the second moto he had a very good rhythm and was able to maintain the high pace. This earned him a strong eighth place.
With 11-8 in the motos, Brent finished in eighth place in the day’s classification.
This weekend, the home Grand Prix of JM Racing Honda is scheduled in Lommel, Belgium.
