Belgian Dries Degrieck consistently secured second place despite some costly mistakes, while Bram Chardon, Ijsbrand’s son, showed promising form by finishing third and expressed satisfaction with his team’s pace despite a driving error. The event featured strong performances from other competitors like Anna Mareike Meier and Glenn Geerts, with British wild card Daniel Naprous appreciating the opportunity to compete against the sport’s elite.
