Team Suzuki Press Office – August 22.
Team Suzuki World MX2 rider Bas Vaessen took the lead and the red plate in the sixth round of the ADAC MX Youngster Cup in Gaildorf, Germany on Sunday with a 1-4 performance aboard his RM-Z250 as Suzuki World MXGP rider Arminas Jasikonis was eighth overall in the Masters class aboard his RM-Z450.
A dry day gave both riders a challenge with hard-pack and slick conditions on the world famous former GP venue; Vaessen clearly improving his hard-pack skills rode smart in race one to victory, but in the second, following a good jump out of the start, got snagged-up with another rider and had to play catch-up to the leaders.
After finishing fourth in race one, Jasikonis was penalised 10 places for jumping on a yellow flag in race two, knocking him back to 13th, but he still maintained his fourth place in the ADAC MX Masters Championship Standings.
The next and final round of the ADAC MX season will be held on September 17-18th at Holzgerlingen where both Vaessen and Jasikonis will defend their positions in the championship standings.
