In contrast to the other circuits in the Belgian Championship, the coming round will be held on a temporary circuit. Although MC Scheldeland has been a guest at the Meganck-Collewaert circuit for several years now, actually a sand extraction site on the Moststraat in Beervelde, course designer Alain Roels starting from scratch every time. Depending on the available space, the comments from the drivers and the public last year, and the organization's specifications, a circuit is then built from scratch. Talk about a challenge!
We spoke with Alain a while ago about what this entails and what we can expect from that new job. In the meantime, the final touches are being made for next Sunday's match. Listen to our conversation below, we apologize for the poorer quality of the recording.
Although the videos below are a few weeks old, they still give an idea of what some turns and jumps will look like. In the last video you can clearly see the spectacular wall ride. Now just add the sponsor banners, nice sunshine, motivated riders, lots of spectators and the Monster Energy babes and you know what you can do on May 1
to expect!
