It is clear that the second round of the CAD2M Dutch Masters of Motocross in Harfsen on May 3 will feel like a mini Grand Prix. Many big names have registered for the event, including the entire Kawasaki Racing Team.
World Champion and Dutch Masters champion Romain Febvre is a regular contender in the championship, and in Harfsen he will be joined by his teammates Pauls Jonass (500) and Mathis Valin (250). This was also expected at the opening round in Heerde, but in the week leading up to the race, Valin suffered a crash that forced him to miss the event.
This coming Sunday, however, he will be present in Harfsen and is considered one of the favorites in the 250 class. Valin finished third on the podium at the most recent Grand Prix in Trentino and is currently in strong form. In Harfsen, he will face competition from, among others, the Reisulis brothers, Cas Valk, Kay Karssemakers, Jens Walvoort, and others.
Pauls Jonass finished eighth in Heerde but is aiming for a higher result in Harfsen. In the Grand Prix races, he regularly shows strong speed and will certainly be capable of competing for a top-five finish.
