This year’s overall championship went to Denmark, with second going to Netherlands and third to Italy. Australia just missed out the top three by four points.

Australia Team Manager, Mark Willingham described the weekend as “a very solid effort and performance from the riders, only small differences would have made large inroads to a higher position. I’m very proud of all the riders and they have represented their country phenomenally well.”
In the 125cc class, Bailey Malkiewicz managed to finish with 12th and 13th place finishes. Mason Semmens managed 24th and 18th placings.
For the 85cc class, Alex Larwood managed to qualify and finish in 18^th and 7^th places. Unfortunately, due to tight sessions Cody Chittick just missed out on qualification and Jett Lawrence had to withdraw due to a crash on Thursday practice and wasn’t able to continue.
