After taking the race win today, Emil Weckman has extended his lead in the Honda 150 European Championship in the deep sand of Lommel at the MXGP of Belgium. After taking the holeshot, Weckman opened up a gap to the rest of the field aboard his CRF150R and maintained it until the chequered flag. The Finn rode a smart race to ensure that he did not take any unnecessary risks on the ever changing and challenging sand track. Teutschenthal overall GP winner Hakon Fredriksen rode hard throughout the moto to try and close the gap to the red plate holder but was unable to gain the required ground. Fredriksen crossed the line second. The battle for third raged throughout the moto between Andrea Adamo and wildcard rider Matheo Miot, with the pair swapping positions throughout the entirety of the race. It looked like Miot had done enough for third after

During the last stages his KTM had electric problems, and it took him time to solve them, but he managed to do it.The junior riders, however, are not too far: Andreas Linusson (in photo1), riding his first European Championship in Latvia, was only 1.26 seconds behind him. And his fellow countryman Jesper Börjesson was only 14 seconds away.Italian Nicolas Pellegrinelli was three minutes early at the time control, thich took him out of the championship points, and this is the reason why he missed taking the lead in the overall. The leader is still Brad Freeman, even if he did not race, because of recent surgery in
