At 4 AM on Monday morning LS Motors-Honda team rider Clément Desalle has left his native Belgium for the US. Twenty-year old Desalle has been the MX1 sensation in Europe this season. He's currently fourth in the MX1 world championship and second in the Belgian Nationals. Desalle will compete in the eighth round of the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship. With the next GP on the 1st and 2nd of August in Lommel, 'MX Panda' was keen to get his first taste of racing in America and Washougal is the perfect occasion!
