Wschowa, Poland - Paul Holmes takes first European Motocross Overall of the Year. With round #3 being dominated by rain, it was sunshine that prevailed during round #4. Two days of high temperatures demanded the most of the Pro-Am racers

It was UK’s Paul Holmes (KTM-Holmes Racing) that got the overall, after three exciting races. Second place came to Romain Couprie (Yamaha-Audemar), and Jan Vlaeymans (W-tec-Planet Quad) rounded out the podium.

Round #4 was hosted on the race track in Wschowa, Poland. With the European Championship Quads coming for the first time to the track and the country still suffering from the floods. Racers were not sure what to expect, but after the first practice, it became clear that the track had two parts with one part sand and deep ruts, the other with hard packed soil. Also, the sidecar racing turned the track into a harsh battlefield, which took a toll on the ATV racers and quads.
