An Update: Jeffrey Herlings

Herlings issues statement.

All eyes were on the opening round of the Italian Championship earlier today, as pundits were eager to see Antonio Cairoli go head-to-head with Jeffrey Herlings. The battle never materialised, however, as Herlings crashed in the first corner of the opening moto and his day ended there. There were immediate concerns that he had sustained an injury, but he has confirmed that there are no issues.

The crash was not too bad but getting run over wasn’t much fun,” Herlings said in a press release. “I was lucky that it wasn’t too bad but the bike was pretty damaged so that meant it wasn’t possible to continue. A shame we couldn’t race; at least this is an upgrade from this time last year when we came away with a broken hand! Aside from today I’m feeling good with the bike and we’ll go again next week.

Jeffrey Herlings will travel to the United Kingdom for his next race, as he is set to take part at the Hawkstone International. Antonio Cairoli, on the other hand, will stay in Italy and race the second round of that series. Watch the footage of Herlings’ crash below.

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.
