Even if Stefan Everts is really close to his eighth world title with a large points gap, Mickael Pichon won't give up and proved this with his twelfth pole position of the season and showed that he's ready to put some more pressure on the Belgian Star, ahead of the German GP tomor𓆏row.

Winner of the second MX2 qualifying race, Ben Townley 𓆏was also impressive today and won his first battle with Tyla Rattraꦦy.

Pichon only failed to gain the top spot twice this year in the💝 qualifying sessions, and despite some bad memories with Gaildorf were he ended his season✱ prematurely last year, the French rider was the fastest MX1 rider during the three practice sessions.

"I never raced🌼 there wiꦐth a 4 stroke, but once more the team did a great job and we found the right settings," said Pichon.

"Even if I crashed here last year I've always enjoyed this track and this year too I had a lot of fun there. The new section is really nice with some jumps; I just regret that they didn't cut it in the best way on꧟ the upper-side.

"I'm actually in great shape, I have raced every week for three months now and even if I felt tired sometimes as I start to practice in January I'm really happ😼y with my condition. Tomorrow I will go for a double win, I know that Stefan has many chances to get the title but I will not giv𝓀e up and later he wins it, the better."

Second in 🧔the session, 1.5 sec📖onds behind Pichon, Stefan Everts was relaxed when he visited the media centre at the end of the day.

"I'm really happy with my bike, and I feel good on the 💯track," said Everts. "Everyone knows that Mickael is always really fast in qualifying, he has nothing to lose and everything can happen tomorrow.

"I'm sati🍌sfied with my result, I've b🐭een training more in the sand for a couple of weeks now. You need more finesse to ride in the sand and I was missing that earlier in the season. I felt much more relaxed We could have rain tomorrow but I don't care; I'm used to being really good in the mud but we haven't had so much in the last three years. It's like riding in the sand, at the beginning you fill really stiff but more you ride, the better it is."

In the same second as Everts follows Coppins, Ramon, Strijbos, Segu🐓y and Meo on his 250 Kawasaki. Brian Jorgensen will not race tomorrow; the Danish rider had a knee infection after some insect sting earlier in the week.

The first MX2 qualifying races saw🐓 a ni🔴ce battle between the three factory riders; Marc De Reuver got the holeshot followed by Tyla Rattray and Ben Townley but at the end of the race Townley beats Rattray, S?bastien Pourcel and De Reuver.

Chiodi took the holeshot in the second heat, but finally Mickael Maschio won. Stephen Sword had a heavy crash and was taken to the hospital for a check up, he will miss the GP as well as Andrew McFarlane, ♑who broke his left collarbone, and Patrick Caps who damaged knee ligaments during the free practice session.
