Everts takes 100th win in Holland.

Sunday, 3rd September 2006

After being beaten for the first time this season one week ago in Northern Ireland, retiring ten times world champion Stefan Everts bounced back to take his 100th grand prix victory on Sunday in the Netherlands.

Everts later received a special certificate and t-shirt from the FIM to mark his 100th victory, while fellow Belgian Steve Ramon joined Everts and Coppins for the podium celebrations after 3-5 finishes.

In MX2, Christophe Pourcel brought his first world title another step closer by taking his second victory of the season – and maintaining his 28 point lead over defending champion Antonio Cairoli after both scored identical moto finishes.

Cairoli took a clear victory over Desertmartin winner Tyla Rattray in race one, with Pourcel third, before the Kawasaki rider turned the tables with an even bigger victory over Rattray in race two, in which Yamaha mounted Cairoli was third.
