Both Clément Desalle (MX1) and Dennis Verbruggen (MX2) have been selected for the Belgian MXoN team. Or at least to be part of the pre-selection for the final team!
On Wednesday the Belgian GP riders met for their annual team building day. This year’s program included mountain bike training, a BMX race session on the Joël Smets BMX track in Dessel and some log cutting. On the image you can make out a driven 'Panda' attacking some wood with the aid of Steve Ramon (right) and Ken De Dycker (middle) As always the day concluded with a barbecue at “Chez Joël’s”. Desalle is clearly in a strong position, he's the first Belgian in the MX1 GP's, for his first MXoN ride. However team manager Smets will only announce his team on the 15th of August during the fourth round of the Belgian Motocross championship at the Keiheuvel, Balen. Competition for the final selection is tough with Desalle, De Dycker, Strijbos and Ramon all competing for two places.
