Nathan Watson in for HIMX

HIMX draft in EWC star.

Published

on

When Petar Petrov bowed out of the Hawkstone International with a collarbone injury, the promoters were left scrambling to find a suitable replacement. Nathan Watson, a former winner in the Maxxis British Championship, has now been confirmed as a late entry in the premier division. Watson currently resides in the World Enduro series.

It will be yet another intriguing story to follow at the historic British event, as it will offer a great reminder of just how capable he is. Watson is no stranger to the race, of course, as he did it last year and finished seventh overall in the MX1 class, then a couple of months later he showed up at the penultimate Maxxis British Championship round as a wildcard. Third overall was acquired on the day, following a sixth and a second in the two motos.

Nathan Watson’s younger brother, Ben, will also compete at the Hawkstone International and make his debut for the Kemea Yamaha squad. Ben is also set to race at the opening round of the Italian Championship this weekend.

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.
