Team Belgium presents: The Red Knights
You have undoubtedly already read about it. After the red devils, the Red Panthers and the Red Dragons, there are now also 'The Red Knights'! The Belgian team for the MXON will now go by this name.
Joel Smets: ' I thought it was a great idea to follow the other national teams and launch a name for our national motocross team. We exchange our yellow colors for red. The red knights on their steel horses, they wear armor/helmets... they fight hard but still have a high Willem Tell/fairplay quality... and in the end they win!'
5-time World Champion Georges Jobé is on the shirts this year. This is the perfect way to pay respect to Georges, who lost his unequal battle against cancer in December last year. His daughter Maité was at the presentation and proudly received the first copy of the shirt.
Below you can find a video of the presentation. The goal in Teutschenthal is already clear to everyone! Go Belgium!
