Participate in the Sand Rookies in Lommel
During the weekend of April 8 and 9, you will be able to see the emerging motocross talents at work on the Lommel GP circuit during the European Championship EMX 65cc & EMX 85cc and the international Sand Rookies 125cc. The three podium riders of the Sand Rookies 125cc will also receive a wild card to participate for free in the European Championship held during the MXGP on July 22 and 23, 2023.
European Championship 65cc – 85cc
Jarne Bervoets showed during the Open Dutch championship in Lierop that he is ready for a promising season. He will be accompanied by 11 other Belgian EMX85cc riders during the opening race of the European Championship in Lommel. They will be able to qualify for the semi-finals on 8 through four qualifying matches (9-04/15 Lommel, 16-04/29 Slagelse (DEN), 30-04/3 Prisanawicz (GER), 4-06/24 Velke Uherce). and June 25 in Axel (NED).
The 25 best riders from our zone (Central Europe zone) will compete against the 25 best riders from the Northern European zone in the Axel. The 20 best riders of the semi-finals, in Axel and in Gazzane di Preseglie (IT) for the Southern European zones, will qualify for the final in Loket (CZE), held as part of the MXGP on July 15 and 16. 65 Belgians have registered in the EMX 7cc and they will also try to qualify for the semi-finals and finals in the same way as the 85cc's.
Sand Rookies 125cc
The program is supplemented with an international 125cc series that does not count for the Belgian Championship, but which can be the stepping stone to the World Championship. Many Dutch and German riders are expected to compete with our Belgian 125cc talents. You can participate for EUR 70 with free entry for 2 companions and a free goodie bag offered by the event partners. The value of this goodie bag already exceeds the registration fee.
Registration for this class is done via the Moto Inside App: registration form Moto inside
