VFor those who find the partying this weekend a bit too much, there is good news. Get some fresh air and watch top-notch motocross this weekend at the Lilse Breugelheide. In addition to a varied competition programme, Lille will also be a great place to party! There is a large, heated party tent where live music will be provided on Saturday evening. And there is also hot soup or, for those who prefer something a bit stronger, there is gin. You won't suffer from the cold either, as there are fireplaces here and there.
It is now the third year in a row that the End of Year Trophy is organized in Lille. One of the very rare Belgian motocross competitions in the winter months. On Saturday the youth series, the vintage cars and the quad riders will be partying at the Breugelheide. On Sunday it's time for the big guns with series for license holders (MX2/MX1-MX3), Pitbikes and Inters.
Strongly occupied Inters class
“Local Hero” at the Inters is Sven Breugelmans, after all it was his supporters club that started everything 2 years ago. In addition to the brand new BeTeMo-Yamaha rider, there are a number of other big names behind the starting gate in Lille: David Cools, Tom De Belder, Jurgen Van Nooten, Jelle Grade and Roy Gijsel.
In addition to these MX1 champions, a few strong MX2 riders will also participate: Kenny Van Dueren, Mark Boot and Marco Briers.
Big names in pit bikes
Ken De Dycker and Manuel Priem are the most striking names on the Pitbike participants list. But both GP riders can expect stiff opposition from two-time AMA Pitbike Supercross champion David Segers. On Sunday there is also a funny 'Crazy race', where everyone rides in costume. Ambiance assured! The entrance for both days is 12 Euro.
