The entry lists for this weekend’s MXGP of Belgium in Lommel have been released, and alongside the regular MX2 and MXGP riders, there are several notable names. In MX2, Lotte van Drunen is joined by Scott Smulders, who returns to the entry list.
In MXGP, Andrea Bonacorsi returns from injury, as previously reported, while Jorgen-Matthias Talviku has been added to the list as the replacement for the injured Alberto Forato. Lucas Coenen, Calvin Vlaanderen and Pauls Jonass are also entered, although it remains to be seen whether all three will actually line up behind the starting gate.
After several weekends off, the EMX250 Championship returns to action, meaning Gyan Doensen will be back on the gate after spending the last two weekends competing in the MX2 class.
The EMX Open class also features a strong field, including many fast Dutch riders and two former Grand Prix winners at Lommel. Gert Krestinov won the MX2 Grand Prix at Lommel several years ago, while Ken De Dycker claimed victory in the premier MXGP class at the legendary Belgian sand circuit in 2009. Also on the entry list is speedy Italian rider and former EMX250 Champion Nicolas Lapucci.
