Vlaanderen battles hard in MXGP of Europe

Team HRC’s #calvinvlaanderen fought bravely through poor health and challenging track conditions aboard his 2018 Honda CRF250RW machine, to claim 11th place in the second MX2 race at #valkenswaard and 13th in the overall classification of the #mxgp of Europe.

Vlaanderen got a great jump out of the gate in race two as he moved up to 7th place, and then battled hard with fellow Honda rider Hunter Lawrence to retain the position. On lap 10, the young South African dropped down a couple of positions after a coming together with Adam Sterry, and eventually crossed the line in 11th.

Race 1 saw Vlaanderen maintaining his position as the MX2 field swept through the first corners. The young South African rider had a harder time than usual in getting up to speed and after a crash he moved down to 15th place – his final position at the chequered flag.

Round 3 of the 2018 #motocross World Championship will take place next weekend at the Redsand MX Park in Spain.
