The start to the 2007 FIM World Motocross Championship series was last weekend on the Eurocircuit at Valkenswaard in The Netherlands, and the 25,000 fans in attendance enjoyed a sunny day whole watching a pair of Yamaha-mounted winners, as Antonio Cairoli (ITA) and Josh Coppins (NZL) took the overall wins in MX2 and MX1, respectively. Cairoli swept his two motos, while Coppins split the moto wins with KTM-mounted Jonathan Barragan.
Jeffrey Beerdsen was on hand to check out the action, and he sent in a huge photo gallery that you can check out by clicking the link above.
