Mixed fortunes for Yamaha van Beers Racing in Valkenswaard‏

The Yamaha
van Beers Racing Team had mixed fortunes in their home Grand Prix in
Valkenswaard. Marc de Reuver finished 11th in the first moto
but crashed out in the second race. Petar Petrov stalled his bike in the
first moto but came back strong in the second moto to finish in
11th position. Herjan Brakke came close of scoring points in
both heats but finally finished in 24th and 21st
position.



Marc de
Reuver started the weekend well on Sunday. In his qualifying heat he rode
a consistent race and crossed the finish line in eight position. In the
first moto he took a good start and came out of the first corner inside of
the top ten. In the beginning of the race he worked himself up to ninth
position but soon after he made a big crash and dropped back to
13th position. Marc came back strong and in the closing stages
of the race he worked himself back up to 11th position. In the
second moto he took a better start and he went into the second turn in
fifth position. In the second lap things went wrong for Marc in the wave
section. He lost control over his Yamaha and crashed out of the race. Marc
was in a lot of pain and went back to the paddock. Because he didn’t score
any points in the second moto he finished 15th overall. After
two rounds he sits in 17th position.



















Herjan Brakke crashed in the start of the qualifying heat and had
to come back trough the field. During the race he passed several riders
but unfortunately he crashed again in the closing stages of the race and
crossed the finish line in 36th position. In the first moto he
took a decent start and went into the first corner inside of the top
twenty. Because the pace was really high in the beginning of the race he
dropped back to 23rd position. In the second part of the race
things started to go better for Brakke and he worked himself back up to
22nd position. A crash in the closing stages of the race ruined
his chances of scoring points and he finally finished the race in
24th position. In the second moto he crashed in the start and
had to charge back trough the field. Herjan was riding well and after some
laps he had worked himself up to 21st position. In the rest of
the race he tried everything he could to pass the 20th place
rider but despite his effort he had to be satisfied with 21st
position.  



















































Petar Petrov took a bad start in his qualifying race and had to
come back from 27th position. During the race he passed a lot
of riders and qualified himself in 19th position. In the first
moto he started the race just outside of the points but this wasn’t for
long because in the beginning he worked himself up to 19th
position. Disaster struck the young Bulgarian rider because he stalled his
bike and because of this he didn’t score points in the first moto. In the
second moto he started the race in 18th position but came back
strong and crossed the finish line in 11th position. Petar
finished fifteenth overall and sits in 20th position in the
World Championship Standings.


















































Next Sunday the Yamaha van Beers Racing Team will participate in
the third round of the Dutch Open Championship Series at
Varsseveld.
