Nand just like last year, BeTeMo will again be responsible for the opening cross of the BMB in Lommel on Sunday. Fortunately, the Opening Cross will be a less perilous undertaking for the pilots and the spectators than in the bleak winter weather last year! In fact, the weather forecast for Sunday is dry and quite mild. Click here for the timetable.
Lommel will once again be the ideal opportunity to see the new outfits, engines and teams at work for the first time. Although the Belgian top players have chosen to start the season later, there will still be more than enough to do in Lommel. Moreover, the Opening Cross is an 'Open Cross', so there are more than 84 foreign participants and many Dutch participants among the registered riders.
Will Jéremy Delincé provide another surprise in Lommel after his series win last year?
The most important (confirmed) drivers in the Inters MX1/MX3 are: Jeremy Delincé, Yentel Martens, Sven Breugelmans, Kevin Wouts, Bas Verhoeven, Glenn Berghmans, Herjan Brakke, Rickard Sandberg and Jan Lauryssen.
