we've ridde at lierop, lommel and valkenswaard and been to gp's at all of them too!!! last time we were riding at lommel (september) jeffrey was there- he looked like he was riding a different track to me!! haha
I prefer lierop to lommel, think its much more fun to ride- the gp has better atmosphere there too i think, lommel is a very strange place with it being in the middle of an industrial estate!!!

He was pretty impressive at the valkenswaard gp last year too!! I was a bit gutted when we went to the leirop gp in 2010 that jeffrey was injured. Never seen him ride there before.

I think i'd prefer the des nations to be at lierop (rather than lommel) but i suppose its only fair to go to lommel with lierop having already held a (fairly) recent des nations!!!

Im hoping to get to the lierop gp and the lommel des nations this year, i'd like to go to valkenswaard too but wont be able to do all 3 and we went to valkenswaard last year! Hoping to come over for a weeks riding around june time, and then again in september (the week before the nations)

I never rode Lommel or Lierop but here in Holland we have many similar tracks I did ride and race so I know the feeling.
When you get tired, it becomes extremely difficult to keep your lines.

I raced the Heerde track alot (at my slow amateur speed) and it is mind blowing to see how fast Herlings and his fellow GP riders go around your local track.

yeh we love it in holland!!! we normally stay near bladel, and ride most of the tracks in that area near the border (eersel, reusel, hondaparc, lommel, lierop, valkenswaard etc) - it always amazes me how many tracks you have over there in such a small area!!!

We once went to eersel when de reuver, cairoli, roelants, leok, eggens and a few others were there - its a bit of a wake up call riding with those guys on a deep sand track! they fly past you like you're not even there!!! lol

i normally go around march/ april time and later in the year but we went to spain this year instead (a couple of weeks ago) - the weather was better than holland but the tracks nowhere near as good!!! looking forward to the gp/ des nations later in the year, should be good!"

heerde looks really good- whereabouts in holland is it? (in relation to bladel)

True. I have been on road trips all over the US and Europe and pretty sure you did too. You have to admit: you can't compare the intensity of driving from Nijmegen to Amsterdam during a week day to a 400mile drive though Utah, Ohio, Maine or Texas.

Heerde is a couple of hours north of Valkenswaard... I watched Herlings eventually beat Max Anstie there in 2008 on 85s (although Max was faster before he blew up his carburettor).... fun track

I never understood how Herlings progressed so much seeing as Anstie used to have him covered 90% of the time, now look at the two

There's some pretty gnarly sand tracks there also. There is Nunspeet, which is white sand like Eersel.
Harfsen and St.Isodorushoeve are much like Heerde.
You won't bump into much GP riders in that area tho, they all stay down south.

Have a look here for track in the Netherlands.
Just zoom in.
