Max Nagl rides to second overall in Wuustwezel
Red Bull KTM MX1 Factory rider Max Nagl rode to second place
overall in Belgium's Wuustwezel on Easter Sunday putting in
another confident performance in the pre-season competition.
Nagl rode to second, fourth and second in the three heats
for his overall second podium spot after taking the hole shot
in all three motos. Although he took the holeshot in the first
moto he went wide in the first corner, lost the advantage
and had to settle for second place. He got into a tangle with
Steve Ramon after Ramon crashed in the second moto and finished
fourth while in the third he held his position until he was
overtaken by De Dijker in the latter part of the race.
"Max has been training very hard and is improving a lot,"
said KTM team boss Stefan Everts. "He is putting in faster
lap times, He's is going in the right direction and is developing
into a good factory rider."
Riders tackled a black sandy track heavy from the previous
day's rain. The weather held out with occasion sun on race
day.
