Finals

The 2nd final was again a battle for first place between Ronald and Dirk but this time Dirk was able to pass Ronald and win the race. Steven finished 3rd again. Dirk set a new lap record.
The 3rd final was similar to the 2nd one. Dirk passed Ronald around the 3min mark and led until 2 laps to go, then he had trouble overtaking a backmarker. So he only finished 3rd behind Ronald and a very strong Steven in 2nd place.
