Belgian Waffle GP Gallery 2

The Belgian GP at Lommel was always going to be a tough race as the deep sand of the legendary circuit that’s situated in the town’s industrial area roughs and ruts up making it a real test of man and machine. The circuit has been known to throw up some surprises – like Team America dominating the world’s best at the 1981 Trophee des Nations – and the 2008 GP was no different with young Estonian Gert Krestinov taking a surprise win in MX2 and unlikely Spanish sand-master Jon Barragan taking overall victory in MX1…

Third overall on the day Tommy Searle closed down Tyla Rattray’s points lead in Belgium and now sits just 20 points in arrears with four rounds remaining. 

Apparently Ugg boots are still the footwear of choice for pit tootsies!

Is this what the Swift Suzuki race bikes are gonna look like in 2009? Probably not but it’s still a sweet design for sure… 

After fading at Foxhill who’d have thought that UTAG Yamaha’s new signing Zach Osborne would have scored good points in race two at Lommel when the circuit was at its roughest. Hey Zach you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind – hey Zach! 

Swordy had a weekend to forget with a first race 13th being his only scoring ride. Expect better results in Loket from the speedy Scotsman. 

The Grand Prix of Belgium hosted the third and final round of the Veteran World Cup. Rider #3 Toine Van Dijk won both motos on his Suzuki while Peter Iven took the world title!
