65 CLASS It was another New Zealander , Verhoeven , who has also been racing in the AMA recently , who claimed the first race holeshot in the 65cc class , and was never overtaken to win by nearly 10 seconds . Kash Van Hamond fought from outside the top five to claim second in the race , ahead of Estonian Theo Kolts and a stunning charge from Great Britain ’ s Cohen Jagielski . Belgium ’ s Xen Temmerman took fifth ahead of fast-starting Frenchman Timoteï Cez . Verhoeven again took the holeshot in race two , but Van Hamond had charged from outside the top 10 to claim second by lap three , then dived past the New Zealander to take the lead . Despite his efforts to fight for the World Cup overall victory , Nico Verhoeven lost positions to Germany ’ s Luca Nierychlo , who claimed second ahead of Kolts . Verhoeven had to settle for fourth , enough only for second overall behind popular local ace Van Hamond . Verhoeven ’ s AMA rival Jaydin Smart came through from an awful start to claim fifth , with his countryman Joseph Vicari claiming sixth in race two . Overall though , it was Van Hamond who claimed the first 65cc title for a Dutch rider since Ivano van Erp in 2017 , with Verhoeven and Kolts second and third . Nierychlo took fourth overall from Vicari , with Jagielski recovering from a second race crash to finish 12th , good enough for sixth overall .
NATIONS CLASSIFICATIONS The home team ( The Netherlands ), with two overall podium finishers and a fourth place , were easily the overall winners in the team Championship , and France just edged out Team Great Britain for second overall , with Estonia fourth and a fighting USA in fifth . Like last year , Team Italy was declared the winner of the Ride Green Cup for demonstrating once again their commitment to environmental protection . In the end , it was a fantastic event at the Dutch woodland circuit that many will take away some amazing racing memories .
