News: French Elite in 2020

The latest on the French national series.

Published

Getting the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship underway again is obviously the priority for everyone in Europe – that is what the industry is in desperate need of. That means that national championships are left scrambling over the scraps though and, whilst each federation works extremely hard to salvage their series, the FFM has adopted a unique approach. The 2020 French Elite series is going to be a one-round showdown.

A recent update from the FFM confirmed that the series would be run on August 15/16 at Castelnau de Levis. There is currently a Grand Prix scheduled for that date, which means that they would not be able to attract the biggest stars, but the results from that one round will determine who is crowned the champion in both MX1 and MX2. This opens up an interesting debate. Is that really a championship? Is one round better than nothing at all?

The Dutch Masters has been cancelled completely, whereas the ADAC MX Masters in Germany will run a reduced calendar in September and October. The ACU British Championship is currently down to one race, following the cancellation of rounds six and seven, but more events should be announced soon.

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.
