Le week-end sera encore une fois du plus grand intérêt à désormais 3 semaines à peine du premier rendez-vous de la saison MXGP. Alors qu’Antonio Cairoli fera sa rentrée sur la finale du championnat d’Italie à Mantova, d’autres pointures du mondial MXGP, comme Jeffrey Herlings, Thomas Covington, Benoit Paturel, Julien Lieber ou encore Kevin Strijbos en MX1, ou Jago Geerts, Jed Beaton ou Tom Vialle en MX2, en découdront dans le cadre du MX International d’Hawkstone Park, en Grande-Bretagne.
Pas moins de onze Belges seront au départ à Hawkstone Park, dont Liam Everts et le tout nouveau champion de France des Sables 125cc Junior Bal dans la classe 125cc qui roulera en marge du programme MX1/MX2.
