Hey Danke, did some research for you, and it isn't possible to rent motocross bikes in the Netherlands. Because of the hard time here to get insurance. Now I found something where you can rent a WR250F or a WR450F, maybe you're interested in that?

Besides of that you must get your own car, fuel, track insurance etc. It'll be pretty expensive.. But if you would like that, we could get some practice laps in together :mrgreen:

I got on this website of a Dutch mx trainer. His website says it is possible to rent a mx bike from him. You only gotta contact the guy. I'll suggest you'll e-mail your story to him and see what he says.

Maybe for your information, when you wanna put some laps down at Valkenswaard, the track is ridden in opposite direction. And at Lierop you won't get to ride the rythm section at front and the straight past the mechanics area. But if you like deep sand, then I can recommend the track of Nunspeet.

Might be a bit hard getting in to those tracks throughout the week. Most of them are probably going to be booked out by mxdn teams

Nah, not much track gonna be fully closed for practice. Most of the mxon teams just show up and ride together with the locals and stuff. There are a few tracks which are opened throughout the week. And I think most of the mxon teams are just going to take practice in Belgium..

If They're smart they will be camping in Dunkerque. The soil is as close as it gets to the Lommel soil. And on a day off they're just from walking distance of the coast and it's beautiful beaches :D.
+ the track is so massive over there that they can ride together with 50locals without noticing them.
