In spite of the usual stiff competition in the Belgian championship Clément Desalle rode to an excellent third place in Beervelde, the opening round of the series. Desalle was consistent all day long and finished two times fourth and one time second. The overall winner was Suzuki factory rider Ken De Dycker ahead of David Philippaerts. Desalle actually provided the more than 5.000 spectators with a great battle fighting Philippaerts for second in race two. Onther attending top GP riders were Kevin Strijbos, Marc De Reuver and Josh Coppins.

Amidst all those big guns Dennis Verbruggen did a great job as well. Crusty came eighth overall, making him the second MX2 rider behind Joël Roelants. The second round of the United Telecom Trophy is Kester on June 14.
