VIDEO: Kevin Strijbos & Standing Construct KTM in Lommel
Two years ago Kevin Strijbos won the MXGP in Lommel. A stunt was not possible this weekend, but 'the Kid' did make a few things clear. The Standing Construct KTM rider finished MXGP Limburg in 15th.
After his brilliant 5th place on Saturday, the veteran of many wars was the first to put his performance into perspective. “I'm quite satisfied, but the prizes won't be handed out until tomorrow!” Strijbos, who took office for the occasion with a helmet design dedicated to a former mentor Eric Geboers, proved that it is still too early for a GP retirement. In the first heat he finished 9th. After a crash in the second moto he came back from last to 21st place until he made another mistake. Strijbos' teammate Valentin Guillod came 22nd.
RTV reporter Maxim Cleemput visited Kevin and his Kempen team for the report below:
