Preview BK motocross Hasselt
This weekend MC Santi in Hasselt guarantees a weekend of cross country and fun. There is plenty to do on both Saturday and Sunday at the beautiful circuit on the Runksterkiezel (Hasselt-Zuid). The icing on the cake is of course the final of the BK Motocross Sidecars!
Thanks to a well-maintained circuit with beautiful obstacles, Hasselt has an excellent reputation among both sidecar duos and solo riders. The final of the BC will be held over two heats. World Cup leaders Marvin Vanluchene - Ben van den Bogaart are also in the lead in the Belgian championship in the standings, but local man - and the driving force behind MC Santi - Kristof Santermans and his Lithuanian co-driver Kostas Beleckas are not yet completely counted out.
In the battle for the podium, Dierckens-Rostingt and Veldman-Janssens are also still in the running. There is also no shortage of seasonings for the day's victory. Etienne Bax and Kaspar Stupelis as well as Julian Veldman-Glen Janssen and Arne Dierckens-Luc Rostingt are making an appearance in Hasselt. We wouldn't be surprised if Daniël Willemsen and Robbie Bax also join the fray!
BK motocross for all classes
In addition to the sidecar violence, all BMB solo classes are in action. In the Belgian Championships, Dietger Damiaens is firmly in the lead in the 500cc ahead of Roy Silien. Since three drivers have 24 points in the quarter-litres, the battle is still completely open. Defending champion Mark Boot leads the dance for Daymond Martens and Tim Louis.
Vintage drivers will also get their money's worth on the beautiful Hasselt circuit because there are also vintage car series programmed. The sidecar cross boarding day will take place on Saturday afternoon between 14 and 17 p.m. Anyone who wants to get a taste of the sidecar cross discipline – either as a driver or as a co-pilot – can then take their chance.
Afterwards, MC Santi will again serve the delicious barbecue from 18:30 PM. Followed by a fun party evening in the tent, with performances by schlager singer Joe Hardy and DJ Monty from 20:30 PM.
