Deep sand awaits Team HRC for MXGP round two

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Tim Gajser and #mitchevans head to Valkenswaard, Netherlands this weekend for what should be another tough test for them and their new Honda CRF450RW. After successfully negotiating the first round of the 2020 #mxgp season with second and fifth overall results respectively, both riders are confident that they can maintain their high standards at this Dutch sand-track, located near the Belgian border.

With the vast quantities of rain that have fallen over northern Europe in the past few weeks, many expect the facility to be a lot rougher than in previous years, where the cold temperatures meant that it was almost hard-pack in places. This should provide a much different challenge than the rutted-dirt that was present at round one in Matterley Basin, Great Britain.

Last year, Gajser went seven-two for third overall here but he’ll be hoping for a bit more after another year of working on his sand skills. His improvement was highlighted when he won the Lommel GP in August 2019, known as the toughest #motocross race in the world, so together with his new CRF450RW, expect the #243 machine to challenging right at the front of the field.

For Evans, his first and only visit here ended up with him scoring a 10th in race two in the MX2 class. However, after his excellent three-seven results in his #mxgp debut last weekend, he’ll be hoping to cement himself as a top five prospect in conditions which should be similar to the pre-season race in Mantova, in which he came away victorious in the Super-final there.

Now though, the riders are preparing for Valkenswaard in what will hopefully be a return to the usual schedule with free practice at 10:20 on Saturday 7th March, with a qualifying race at 16:10 that same afternoon. The points scoring motos then take place at 13:15 and 16:10 on Sunday 8th March.
