News: Calvin Vlaanderen
Calvin Vlaanderen bows out of HIMX.
The Hawkstone International has taken a bit of a hit this week, as Ben Watson announced that he would not be racing at the pre-season event and now Calvin Vlaanderen has confirmed that he will not be there either. Vlaanderen confirmed the rather surprising news via the following statement on social media moments ago.
“Damn it sucks I won’t be at @Hawkstone_International_MX this weekend. Was looking forward to battle with the 450 boys! Hope to see all my GB fans at Matterley in a few weeks.”
Although no information about the reason for his absence has been made public, after speaking to Vlaanderen it became apparent that there is no reason to worry and his attendance at the first round of 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship should not be called into question.

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.
