Photo: CDSLS Motors Honda rider Clément Desalle will enter the fourth round of the World championship in Valkenswaard keen on improving his current ninth place in provisional MX1 standings. Like most Belgian riders the nineteen year old enjoys racing in heavy conditions. Desalle had an excellent build-up to Valkenswaard winning the International in Mons on Sunday ahead of Jonathan Barragan and Kevin Strijbos. Clément swept the first heat and was runner-up in the second.
Desalle’s best result on the demanding Eurocircuit, south of Eindhoven, was 11th in last year’s GP. But he should be more than capable to top that result aboard his CRF450R, given his current form and his outstanding fourth place finish in the punishing second race in Lierop at the end of last season.
