BTS Racing’s Jens Walvoort demonstrated his perseverance during the Dutch Grand Prix in Arnhem. Walvoort had been ill throughout the week and was forced to dig deep on the demanding sand circuit.

Despite not feeling fully fit, Walvoort managed to finish qualifying day on a positive note. After setting the sixteenth fastest time in time practice, he rode to a tenth-place finish in the qualifying heat, earning a valuable point.

In Sunday’s first moto, Walvoort got off to a strong start and held ninth position for a long stretch. Just before the halfway mark he dropped back to eleventh but continued to fight hard. Even as breathing became more difficult, he held on to eleventh place until the closing stages, but eventually lost one more spot and crossed the finish line exhausted in twelfth.

A very good start in the second moto once again put him in a strong position. However, a crash in the opening lap pushed him back to the rear of the field. Walvoort began a charge through the pack and worked his way up to thirteenth place. Unfortunately, a mechanical problem then forced him to retire from the race.

With zero points from the second moto, Walvoort had to settle for sixteenth overall on the day. In the World Championship standings, he remains in twentieth position. The series continues on the weekend of September 6-7 in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey.

On Saturday, Walvoort showed progress throughout the day. After setting the fifteenth fastest time in time practice, he qualified twel
fth in the qualifying heat for Sunday’s races.

A strong start in the first moto put him inside the top ten after the opening lap. He managed to hold his ground in the early stages, but after losing a few positions he was still circulating around the top ten when a mechanical issue forced him to retire from the race.

Determined to bounce back, Walvoort lined up for the second moto with renewed focus. He rode an excellent first half of the race and was holding eleventh place.

Unfortunately, he suffered a heavy crash but refused to give up. Despite losing his goggles in the fall and having to continue with a damaged valve, he fought his way back to sixteenth position, earning five valuable championship points.

With a DNF in the first moto, Walvoort had to settle for nineteenth overall in the day’s classification. Next weekend, BTS Racing will compete in their home Grand Prix in Arnhem, the Netherlands.

In the second moto, Walvoort got off to a better start and completed the opening lap in ninth place. He rode a consistent race, maintaining his position around ninth throughout. At one point he moved into eighth, but had to surrender the spot later and crossed the line in ninth.

With 8-9 finishes in the two motos, Walvoort secured a solid seventh overall in the day’s classification. The FIM Motocross World Championship continues in two weeks at the hardpack circuit of Uddevalla, Sweden.
