Team Belgium is gearing up for an exhilarating competition at the upcoming VMXdN Foxhill 2024 event. Building on their success from previous years, the Belgians are set to showcase their skills as the B&I Vintage Team, organised by Bart and Ilse. Words: VMXdN
For the past six years, Bart and Ilse have passionately worked on Vintage MX machines as a hobby. Their dedication and expertise have made them go-to resources for parts and services, providing valuable assistance to fellow motocross enthusiasts.
Team Belgium has set their sights on another strong performance this year. In 2022, they finished 6th in the VMXdN Team race, and in 2023, they improved their ranking to 5th place. With Bart taking control of the three machines and the riders in top shape, the team is determined to achieve even better results in 2024.
The team consists of three talented riders ready to leave their mark on the competition. Jasper Van Der Mieren will ride the Kawasaki KX 250 with the number 13. With his previous achievements as the BMB champion in Belgium in the 125cc category and experience in the Dutch championship, Jasper brings a wealth of skill and determination to the team.
Stijn Verstrepen, riding the Kawasaki KX 500 with number 14 on the plate, has been passionate about motocross since the age of 12. Over the years, he has steadily climbed the ranks, competing in the MX-1 category Inters in Flanders VMBB. His notable achievements include participating in the World Championship MX3 in 2012, where he secured a 6th place finish in Arco di Trento, Italy, and becoming the Belgian Champion in the VMCF federation two years ago.
Making a remarkable comeback after a 20-year hiatus is Tom De Belder. Motivated and determined, Tom is eager to regain his form from his early days of competition. With extensive experience competing in Europe and a track record of several top 10 finishes, Tom is a formidable contender on the Kawasaki KX 250 with the number 15 plate.
