Next up on our schedule is the third round of the Belgian Motocross championship in Nismes. Nismes is an awesome, spectacular hard pack track near the French border. It was the venue for the 1997 MX of Nations and some GP's, the last one in 2005. It was also the place were Clément Desalle gave the Belgian stars somewhat of a shock by coming out (from racing the German series) and beating them all in a guest ride!

This weekend Desalle and his team mate Dennis Verbruggen will be back. However, this time around Clément is not only out for the win in Nismes is also fighting for the Belgian title agains De Dycker and Coppins. Furthermore some a couple of guys you might have heard of are making their comeback on Sunday: Steve Ramon and Kevin Strijbos. Add Aprilia factory rider Manuel Priem, KTM's Jeremy Van Horebeek and Patrick Caps to that and you know it will be quite an exciting race!
