Former British champion Ken De Dycker will race a factory Fantic 250 two-stroke in the EMX 2T class at Lommel in his native Belgium in Sunday.

The former MXGP winner, who retired from pro racing three years ago, had a one-off ride in the EMX Open at Oss in Holland and took a third in one race on a KX450 Kawasaki.

He said he also wanted to race the two-stroke class at the Lommel GP if he could borrow a bike, and the Fantic team have stepped forward with a 250. De Dycker says it’s not part of a comeback, just a one-off.
