Monster Energy Yamaha’s Glenn Coldenhoff grabbed a second overall result in Trentino on sunday, with a five-two scorecard just behind Jeffrey Herlings.
After grabbing a fifth place finish during the first moto, Coldenhoff dived down the inside of Febvre and made a spectacular pass for the lead on lap thirteen during moto two, and led the way for five laps until Herlings made a pass with three laps remaining. Going into the final lap, Coldenhoff went bar to bar with Gajser, and impressively defended the challenge from the current champion to secure second overall. Ā
āI have been struggling all year long except in Maggiora, so itās good to be back on the podium,’ said Coldenhoff.
“Itās been a very long and hard road. Itās good to be back here and I also feel like I belong here. I had a good feeling straight away this morning. I finished fifth in the first race.”
“The second one was quite intense to say the least. In the beginning I was behind Febvre. I got so much pressure from behind, so I really had to do something. I managed to pass Romain and lead a few laps. I can tell you it was a great feeling. Definitely looking forward to having more battles like that.”
“Jeffrey as we know is really strong lately. He passed me and I donāt think itās a shame. Itās good that we have two more rounds here. I started this stretch on a positive note and I am looking forward to the rest of the season.”
