Superprestige Round 10 - Cat. 1

Hernes, France, February 6, 2000

Sven Nijs was not able to extract a decent revenge for his "defeat" at the World Championships last weekend. Richard Groenendaal was too strong once again in the penultimate race in the Superprestige series at Harnes, France.

The race had an easy start with Vanthourenhout, Commeyne as well as Vannoppen at the front, but halfway Groenendaal and Nijs left the others behind with Groenendaal launching the final attack on the last lap. Nijs still leads in the overall standings, with just one race left.
