was Sweden ’ s Sandor Sols who claimed the first race holeshot on his GASGAS ahead of local ace Dean Gregoire . However , it was Fantic Factory Racing EMX125 pilot Simone Mancini who dispelled the rumours that young Italians can ’ t ride sand by taking the lead on the opening circulation . Jayson van Drunen , son of 1990s star Marcel van Drunen , although no relation to WMX star Lotte , was battling with another Dutchman , Gyan Doensen , in the top five , but Zanocz was on a mission and charged through to take second by the end of lap three . With a clear track to chase his team-mate , he set the fastest time of the whole race on lap four , and then dived past Mancini for the lead on lap six . Behind them , Sols dropped back with a bike issue to finish 14th , but Spaniard Francisco Garcia put in a solid ride on his GASGAS to take third on lap six , then chased down Mancini to break-up the Fantic 1-2 with a pass on the very last lap of the race . Finn Kasimir Hindersson , one of the fastest qualifiers , also fought through to finish fourth , with current EMX125 Championship challenger Doensen ending his topsy-turvy race in fifth . Zanocz cruised to a 14-second victory to leave everyone else scratching their heads . That super Swede Sols grabbed the holeshot again in race two , but would once more finish in 14th . Mancini grabbed the lead on lap two this time , but Zanocz was outside the top 15 and giving his opponents some hope . Gregoire and Van Drunen were again giving their home fans something to cheer for , but it was Doensen who climbed to 2nd at the end of lap five . Incredibly , by half-distance , it was that Hungarian menace Zanocz who had powered up to second place past his series rival , and set after Mancini . With Doensen staying solid in third ahead of Garcia , who also fought through from behind at the start , it meant that Zanocz was in the driving seat for the overall , but he still put everything into catching his teammate , with a small mistake
