Deep, deep sand. Three GP's within a week, the track will show who's fitness is on point. It will be a slaughter! It seems it will stay dry most of the days, with temperatures around 13°C.
Additional classes: EMX125 (round 13, 14 & 15), EMX250 (round 13 & 14).
It will be the week of truth for Jago Geerts. This track offers him the chance to decrease Vialle's lead of 52 points. But to be fair, if Vialle doesn't make any big mistakes, the title is his.
In MXGP I expect big things from Prado. He practically grew up in and around Lommel, so I see him win at least one GP. A lot of contenders for the win, though. Cairoli, Gajser, Coldenhoff, Febvre,...
Also, Lommel will host the finals of both EMX125 and EMX250-championships, with EMX250 racing only the first two rounds. Here it's a showdown between Benistant and Guadagnini, with a difference of 18 points.
Difficult to say who will take it. Benistant races with a Dutch team, so he trained in the sand a lot the past couple of months. Guadagnini has the momentum with 6 race wins and 3 overall wins in a row, and he has some experience as a wildcard in MX2 this and the previous season. So my guess is Guadagnini will take the championship.
In EMX125 Bonacorsi holds the red plate on his Fantic, with a gap of 42 points on Meico Vettik and 53 points on David Braceras. As Vettik is the better sandracer and with experience in EMX250, I see him closing the gap.
Excited for the races, unfortunately spectators are not allowed.

It'll be interesting to see how Vialle plays it. I can't see him pushing too hard for wins but there's a lot of 'hungry' riders with nothing to lose in MX2 that could get in between him and Geerts.
Geerts.. can he keep it on 2 wheels and close the gap? Normally he should be able to win all 6 moto’s there, but the history of crashing and taking bad starts the last few races got me wondering. Will be tough, especially Vialle always gets a great start.
Cairoli.. Normally he is the better sand rider compare to Gasjer, it’s time for him to take points back on Gasjer if he wants that 10th title.. it’s now or never..
The Shop
Riders who can get between him and Geerts (assuming that Geerts wins all 6 races) on a regular basis are probably TKO and Van de Moosdijk. Occasionally maybe Renaux, Watson and Beaton. That's about it. I wouldn't be surprised that if Geerts goes 1-1-1-1-1-1 (and that's a big "if"), that Vialle easily can go 2-2-2-2-2-2.
TKO RVDM Watson are all great sand riders what “could” finish every moto in between them if everything works out perfectly.
There is allot of pressure on Geerts and he showed lately that he can’t handle it. He is able for 6x1 but it’s a big ask.
EMX250 will be a tough one for Benistant. Underdog for race wins is Talviku for me. Remember that he was riding EMX125 last year as well. Maybe Guyon can win a race too.
MX2 I think Geerts has the upper hand speed wise, but he has to stay calm ánd keep his bike running (which didn’t happen last year). Vialle will be solid. Underdog for a win is vd Moosdijk for me.
Mxgp.. well i think Prado will win here. Maybe the others can run him down later in the moto, but speed wise, flow and starts Prado is hard to beat. Hopefully Coldenhoff will win a GP here too. Another rider always performing well here is Van Horebeek. I think he can podium with some luck. Let’s goo!
Bonacorsi wasn’t that impressive at Mantova so we’ll see if it was just a bad day or not, but Vettik will be loving the conditions so it could get intresting if Bonacorsi struggles.
As for 250, like people have pointed out Benistant has probably got a lot of laps in the sand with his Dutch team, but Guadagnini has not been fazed by soft sand before and he has all the momentum right now.

People may remember it as the track that Team USA rode before Lommel MXON
He sometimes races an international or national race in Belgium or The Netherlands. He's actually not that slow to be honest. Not that he's going to score any points, though.
Pit Row
Be interesting to see where that leads. Does he get a full time GP deal as well alongside JVH, replacing Guillod, or does he replace JVH in the Sables series, so he gets a winter break.
I remember hearing JVH talking to with some friends, saying he had been riding summer /winter for 3 years or so and was ready for a break, not the start of another GP season, not in a bad way , just that it was tough. The Covid break might be enough to keep him keen a bit longer.
Crazy times for that series also because off the COVID.
Any news about Van Berkel if he will do one?
He also joined that team for the beach races, but he can also put that bike in points..
