Damn it rained a lot the last two weeks but it stopped just in time for some riding. UMX riders Jarno Verhorevoort and Erwin Robins entered a few races last weekend to get ready for the first Open Dutch outdoor national in Gemert this upcoming weekend (18 March). Jarno raced two times. Boekel on Saturday and Lochem on Sunday. He found some settings he likes so he's going into the first round with confidence. Not sure how that is possible when you line up against factory riders like Josh Coppins, Tanel Leok, Marc de Reuver, Sven Breugelmans, Kevin Strijbos and Steve Ramon but we'll see how ready Jarno is after the weekend. Erwin Robins will contest this field on his trusty 250 YZ 2 stroke and after an 8th and a DNF in Boekel we're not sure how he will end up. We've got their back though.
