American Jake Pinhancos (65cc), Henry Jacobi from Germany

there is any amount of Orange riding talent waiting in the
wings to move into the senior ranks.
In the 65cc class, Pinhancos took first place while fellow KTM
riders Brian Hsu of Taiwan and Wilson Todd of Austria took the
minor places. Also in the 85 cc class it was a great day for
the Austrian manufacturer with Jacobi taking the title and KTM
riders Tim Gaiser of Slovakia and Stefan Ekerold of Germany
second and third.
The 125 cc class was a triumph for KTM rider Jordi Tixier, who
has already secured the new European 125 Championship with one
race in hand. Austrian KTM rider Pascal Rauchenecker finished
in third place. Tixier said he was hoping for a ride in the
MX2 World Championships in 2011.
