The Dutch WMX star confirmed via social media that she will compete in both the Thunder Valley National and the subsequent round in High Point.
Van Drunen arrives in America with an impressive track record. The Dutch rider is currently defending her world title in the FIM Women's Motocross World Championship and is considered one of the greatest talents in international women's motocross.
