Short laptimes now that they've cut the track quite a bit. Still hope there will be a GP in the upcoming years..

So DeWolf beat Herlings!  On a 450!  What’s the story? No thread on the Dutch Nationals?  Liam took 3rd.  Anyone that saw it??

4th place guy riding 8 sec slower lap times ...the field was lapped until P4 .. Liam was most impressive ! 

Kind of like Prado V Jett except in Holland 

And Prado was 11th

Well,
it was fun to watch.
It was a competition between the powerhouse (Herlings) and the more Tai Chi practitioner (De Wolf). De Wolf leaves more to the bike, guiding it. Herlings imposes his absolute will on the bike, directing it as a ruler.
On this track, the Husqvarna knew better what to do, and De Wolf took full advantage of that. Herlings was able to push very hard himself, but didn't listen enough to his KTM.
So De Wolf won. Very narrowly, though.
It was great to watch.
And we learn from this that the 450 goes well with De Wolf's riding style. His switch seems significant

No shock fading?
