GRRL! SUMMARY:
- LOTTE VAN DRUNEN delivered a flawless home-sand performance, leading every lap of both WMX races in Arnhem for a dominant 1-1 and maximum 50 points, lifting her to third in the championship.
- DANIELA GUILLEN staged the ride of the weekend, charging from 13th in Race 1 and surviving a heavy Race 2 crash to reclaim the championship red plate, now six points clear of Fontanesi.
- KIARA FONTANESI fought through fever, a painful neck injury from a time-practice crash, and still salvaged two fourth places — a remarkable result that keeps the title alive heading to Australia.
- LUCY BARKER was the revelation, posting her best race result of the season with third in Race 2, holding off a charging Guillen after the Spaniard crashed and hunted her back down in the final laps.
- COURTNEY DUNCAN and SHANA VAN DER VLIST both featured in the points across both motos, while LAUREN COLLINGWOOD made the trip to the Netherlands for valuable WMX Grand Prix experience.
UPCOMING:
- 2026 WMX Final Round, Australia (date not stated, found Oct 30, 2026)
