E-MX Race of champions with special guest Niels Albert!
You have to be in Zolder tomorrow for a unique sporting and free top spectacle! Thanks to the E-MX Race of Champions, you are offered a full program with the best that electric motocross has to offer. And that includes special guest Niels Albert!
The two-time cyclocross world champion Niels Albert comes together with a selection of cyclocross pros and BMX legends Arnaud Dubois tasting the electric bike. In the E-Cyclocross race the gentlemen compete against each other with the spectacular Bultaco Brinco. Albert, who runs the Niels Albert Bike Store, among other things, sometimes rides a dirt bike in his spare time and of course he also closely follows all the latest developments on the bicycle market. We are already very curious about what the E-Cyclocross will bring!
In addition to the Tacita demo race, the main attraction of this event is of course the annual E-MX Race of Champions. Whoever wins the final can call themselves the best electrocross rider in the world! Because the entire field rides identical KTM Freeride-E motorcycles, courage, riding technique and fitness are the deciding factors. They will be at the start tomorrow: Davy Pootjes & Josiah Natzke (Red Bull KTM), Yentel Martens (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna), Jens Getteman (Silver Action-KTM), Jorn Zoetekouw & Mark Nelissen (eeXparc), Julien Vanstippen, Jimmy Verburgh , Martin Koren (FMX4Ever), Marvin Van Daele, David Cools, Junior Slegers, Axel Roelants… Last but not least, Kevin Wouts (Rent MX KTM Team) is also at the start. Kevin is currently in great form, he is 6th in the international EMX250 championship and 4th in the Dutch ONK MX1.
New for this edition is the brand new “Straight forward and back”. This is an explosive head-to-head sprint race with KTM Freeride-Es over a 100-meter stretch. The riders compete against each other according to an exciting tournament formula. FMX legend, and former supercrosser, Jimmy Verburgh designed this section with whoops, table mountains and doubles. Spectacle guaranteed!
Eight young motocross riders compete against each other on the Electric Kuberg dirt bikes in the E-Race of future champions. Anyone who wants to know the stars of tomorrow should definitely come and see what these ambitious guys have to offer! Participants: Liam Everts, Yoran Moens, Sacha Coenen, Luca Coenen, Axel De Groe, Troy Verburgh…
