The Sand Storm

It’s an old but still golden location where round five of the FIM Motocross World Championship will take place and its name should be familiar to you, but if you are new to the world of motocross, Valkenswaard is the name of the circuit that will host the MXGP of Europe in The Netherlands.

Situated next to the Eurocircuit road course, between Eindhoven and the Belgian boarder, Valkenswaard marks the first of the sand races on the 2015 calendar. Renowned for its popularity and hugely animated crowds, which are bolstered by the influx of ever passionate and crazy Belgian motocross fans crossing the border, along with the usual die-hard Jeffrey Herlings fans, rounds of MXGP in the sands of Holland are integral parts of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

The circuit of Valkenswaard was our feature circuit in the most recent issue of MXGP MAG, to READ, click HERE.
