mxforum.be is one of the most famous and visited forums / motocross sites of Belgium, if not the most. Our friends there are being a great support so far.

We are even in the homepage news when you go to www.mxforum.be, and we are sure of they are significant contributors for the 86 belgian registered teams.

That amount made Belgium the second country in number of teams at Motocross Virtual, only behind the United Kingdom (125).

Thanks guys! À bientôt!

Today is 5th. 30 days left to the first GP at Valkenswaard (Netherlands). 30 days to make your team and select your riders. Maybe to stay agile for last-hour injuries or new riders incoming, as the announcement Joaquim Rodrigues made this weekend about his coming to GP’s on 2008. Or having a look to our statistics.

It’s been 4 days from the launch of Motocross Virtual to the world. It’s not bad, we are 193 teams so far and we still have a month to get new managers. You probably like to know something about our statistics, specially if I say that UK is the country with more teams: 99, followed by Spain with 51, Belgium with 10 and USA and Australia with 8. Where are the french, italian, dutch and all nordic motocrossers? We are waiting for you! Latin American fans have to come too.

Riders. Interesting… as I said before, please stay alert, probably new riders are coming, as former USA Factory Connection team contenteder Joaquim Rodrigues, who announced last weekend that he will ride the GP’s on 2008. He will be a crack to consider, sure.

But you want to know about the most selected riders, don’t you? Ok, here we go. The rider on most teams so far is… NOT JOSHUA COPPINS! Yes, call it a surprise, he is Tommy Searle! He is selected for 124 teams, and second in the list is Coppins, with 121. Next is Cairoli, followed far by Rattray, Mackenzie and Ramon. De Reuver, Barragan, Seb Pourcel and Strijbos are in the middle of the table and then there are a lot of riders between 10 and 20 selections: Philipaerts, Brown, Swanepoel…

Things surely will change when Italian and French teams have their incoming to Motocross Virtual.

Please, remember to read the rules and don’t forget that you can’t select riders you selected in last 3 races.

Surprises are coming… GOOD LUCK!

“I feel good with the KX250F-SR – I already have a great set-up with the bike – so I decided to change a little bit for this race and ride the 450 machine instead,” said Paulin. “In timed qualification I tried to cut a new line and I was riding close to the bank and I couldn’t see the tyres in the mud. There was one tyre sticking out slightly more than the others and I hit it and it high-sided me. I came down on my hand and the result is that I have fractured a small bone there. Now I need to wait three or four weeks before I can race again but I’ve worked hard this winter and my general fitness is good and the bike is good so I think I’ll be ready for Valkenswaard.”

Although the original diagnosis of a broken shoulder blade has proved to be correct Tanel and the Kawasaki Racing Team remain focussed on round one of the world championship at Valkenswaard in April.
