Many top riders at the start during the RES Axel 2- & 3-hour competition!
This Sunday, October 25, is the day. Then there are the traditional ones RES Axel 2 & 3 hours matches on the programme. The 2-hour race will be for youth on 65 and 85cc, but a women's team of 125cc pilots has also been registered. And every year in the 3-hour race in Axel they can count on the top teams of Walter Haentjens with AMC Evergem and many other top athletes who put together a fast team together with their fast friends.
In 2-hour race There are a total of 14 teams registered, so if you want, you still have the option to register for this competition. A team consists of at least 2, maximum 3 pilots. Walter Haentjens has also put together a good team here, he said Emilio Vannieuwhuyze together with Avo Thank you send it on the road and do this under the name of AMC Evergem. This duo already showed in the Belgian competitions that they have talent and can accelerate a bit. But also it EMD team looks strong, Scott Smulders en Eloy Van Rijkevorsel are also used to going full throttle in the sand. And Richard de Beer from Grizzly racing comes with a team that includes his son Ryan the Bear together with Jens Walvoort en Daily of the Heresy will take office. This trio undoubtedly has the advantage over AMC Evergem and EMD in that they have one more pilot. This can be decisive towards the end of the match. All the other teams also look strong and without a doubt the team that wants to win the RES Axel 2-hour cross will have to put up a 2-hour battle.
In the starting list of the 3-hour race we see 3 AMC Evergem teams. One of them has already been filled in with Nick Trieste, Jeffrey Dewulf en Pascal Bal, without a doubt a team that will compete for victory.

Home rider Roy Gijsel will take office with Marc de Reuver en Yentel martens. The 'Brakka boys from the area' is also a team that will be seen, with the brand new NK 125cc champion Nick Horsten, Jordan Lee Van Maaren en Steven Ovaa they have a strong team across the board. And what to say about the MC Mikkola 1 team? Home driver Mark Boat together with Jochem Walckiers en Matthias Van Roy, which is also a team that is competing for the podium.
