In de EK 250cc klasse verraste Patrick Lakerveld, die de voorlopige ÔpoleÕ pakte in de klasse die de springplank naar de GPÕs wordt genoemd. De regerend Nederlands Kampioen uit het Brabantse Wijk en Aalburg, verkoos een EK start boven een TT Grand Prix wildcard in de 250cc. Daar doet hij vooralsnog heel goed aan, want met zijn 3e plaats in de tussenstand na 3 van de 8 races, maakt de 24-jarige coureur nog volop kans op de EK-titel.
