Mechanics: Noud Aerts
The drivers are always in the spotlight, no matter how good they are. Without a good mechanic, the motocross bike cannot achieve its performance. That's why we want to put a technician in the spotlight once a month. This month it is Noud Aerts, previously a cross rider himself and in recent years at the side of Brian Bogers.
