Ken De Dycker didn't waiste any time and took the lead early on during time practice, leaving him enough time to throw in some whips here and there.

In the MX2 class, South-African - and current leader - Tyla Rattray won his heat and it was thought of that team mate Tommy Searle would win his heat as well, completing the 'orange squad' at the gate tomorrow. However, Tommy had to come in the pit during his qualifying heat due to a damaged rear brake and that resulted in giving it a second shots in the last chance.

The surprise of the day came from young gun and AMA rider Zach Osborne who took the whole shot in his heat - battling it out with Searle. Zach has been racing in the MX GP World Championships since Lommel and will stay on in Europe next year as well. During the press conference Zach said that Lommel was definitely "a culture shock" for him, riding in such deep sand. On wood-chips on the other hand, he got himself a pair of wings today. Don't miss Zach's comments on today's qualification experience.
