2014 Belgian Masters of Moto
During its meeting on 20/11, the Board of Directors of the Belgian Motorcyclists Association approved the calendar of the Belgian Masters of Motocross 2014, the official Belgian Motocross Inters Championship. The calendar is the following:
• April 6 Mons (RAMC Mons)
• May 1, Wachtebeke (MC Scheldeland)
• June 29 Kester (AMC De Toekomst Dworp)
• August 24 Orp-le-Grand (AMC Orp)
• September 21 Mont-Saint-Guibert (RMC Pierreux)
It is remarkable that the traditional competition at the Keiheuvel is not included here. This combined with a Belgian GP yet to be added to the World Cup calendar makes us dream of a GP in Balen.
New classes & regulations
Last night the Board of Directors approved the rule changes proposed by the Motocross working group. The most important change concerns the creation of a new class Nationals 125cc 2-stroke which will run together with the Nationals MX2 class with a separate classification, championship and prize scale.
As was already decided last year, the class Promises are only accessible to 125cc 2-stroke machines. The youth 85cc class will be the class 'youth' where machines come from 65cc to 85cc will be admitted.
