European Motocross
Help: Honda Park Closure
Save the Honda Park circuit!
Honda Park in Olmen, Belgium, has closed down and people across Europe are furious. That much is obvious. This is an opportunity to voice that frustration in a constructive manner and prove the power that motocross actually has. It’s worth a shot! The petition on this link has amassed 6827 signatures at the moment and is being shared by the official Honda Park social accounts, so is the best way to show our valued the venue is.
Belgian riders are extremely frustrated at the decision, which was made due to noise requirements. Stefan Everts summed up the situation in a perfect manner via this short quote. “RIP Olmen. Yet another stab in the heart for our sport in Belgium.” The number of tracks that are closing in Belgium could pose an interesting issue for teams contesting the FIM Motocross World Championship. Belgium has long been the place to be, but maybe  that focus will shift to another European hotspot in the coming years.

This Sunday (March 3) the Dutch motocross season will start at the Herselse Bossen circuit in Lierop. The field of racers is getting stronger and stronger and it promises to be a really high-level race.

The MX2 class is full of young and motivated riders and Lucas and Sacha Coenen will join them for Lierop. These talented twins regularly impressed in the MX2 World Championship last year and Lucas won his first Grand Prix in Indonesia at the age of sixteen.
A fifth place was his share in the final standings and he certainly wants to improve on that this year. Sacha also regularly showed that he has the speed to compete at the front. Highlights were his second place in the qualifying heat in Finland and top five finishes in the Czech Republic and Sweden.
In the deep sand of Lierop, the Coenen brothers will compete against riders like Kay de Wolf, Cas Valk, Hakon Osterhagen, Max Werner, Scott Smulders, Bradley Mesters, Hakon Fredriksen, Oriol Oliver and others.
Also in the 500 class we get fireworks with the participation of Jeffrey Herlings, Jago Geerts, Pauls Jonass, Calvin Vlaanderen, Brent van Doninck and others.
The weather forecast looks good, so the Dutch MX Season Opener in Lierop has all the ingredients to see a great day of racing.
