Glenn Coldenhoff (MXGP) and Lucas Coenen (MX2) were the winners of the MXGP qualifying races in the Netherlands. The Arnhem round, held on a sandy track, was marked by the debut of Ducati in MXGP, with Tony Cairoli.
In the main category, Coldenhoff (Fantic Racing) took the holeshot and led from start to finish. Jorge Prado (Red Bull GasGas) was his main pursuer for much of the race, but was overtaken by Romain Febvre (Kawasaki) in the final minutes. The Frenchman gave Coldenhoff a tough fight, but the Dutchman secured the victory with a 0.970s advantage.
Prado crossed the finish line in fourth ahead of Jeffrey Herlings (Red Bull KTM), with Tim Gajser (Team HRC) in fifth. Cairoli debuted the new Desmo450 MX in MXGP after a few months of competition in Italy. The Italian was in the top five at one point, but ended up in seventh, more than half a minute behind the winner.
Sacha Coenen (Red Bull KTM) took the holeshot in the MX2 qualifying race and led the first two laps before being overtaken by his brother Lucas (Nestaan Husqvarna). Lucas ended up dominating the proceedings, winning by 21.785s ahead of Kay de Wolf (Nestaan Husqvarna).
The championship leader recovered from an incident in the first lap and reached second on the final lap, when he overtook Liam Everts (Red Bull KTM). Andrea Adamo (Red Bull KTM) was also involved in the incident with de Wolf and finished fourth, while fifth place went to Mikkel Haarup (Monster Energy Triumph).
