This Sunday, April 21, the grand final of the Dutch Masters of Motocross is scheduled in Markelo. Jeffrey Herlings, Cas Valk, Gyan Doensen and Timo Heuver are the leaders of the championship and will be on the hunt for the title.
One rider who is not in contention for the title but will go for the win is Thibault Benistant of the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 team. Benistant is currently third in the MX2 World Championship standings and managed to finish second last weekend in Arco di Trento. He also managed to win the previous race in Oldebroek.
In addition to Benistant, his teammate Rick Elzinga will also race in Markelo. Elzinga is currently second in the standings and is four points behind Cas Valk in the battle for the title. So anything is still possible for Elzinga.
We can also expect fireworks in the 500 class because the strong trio, Jeffrey Herlings, Romain Febvre and Calvin Vlaanderen, will come to Markelo.
