Rolled into Lommel today for the MXGP of Flanders. 

Weather is not cooperating today, and rain is forecast for Saturday.  Anyhow, here are some first photos of bikes and the facility. I will add captions and post more photos as I get a chance. Off to tech now…

That fuel tank looks like an early 80s Honda tank. Very nice!

Thanks Brent for the pics of the MJC Yams, they’re a work of art. Any chance you can grab some more if it’s possible?

Thank you Brent, much appreciated.

That header pipe on Herlings' bike looks really vulnerable.
