While the weekend’s British championship may have been axed due to poor weather, the Dutch Masters opener at Markelo is on and triple world MX2 champ Jeffrey Herlings heads an entry list of many of his MXGP rivals. Entries include Max Anstie, Gautier Paulin, Shaun Simpson, Kevin Strijbos, Jeremy Seewer, Glenn Coldenhoff and Romain Febvre plus Ken De Dycker, Harri Kullas, Yentel Martens and Filip Bengtsson.

The MX2 class has HRC’s Calvin Vlaanderen, Jed Beatin, Vsevolod Brylyakov, Davy Pootjes, Zach Pichon, Thomas Kjer Olsen, Ben Watson and Adam Sterry.

Martin Barr is a late entry but Steven Clarke, who was entered to race, is not back from the USA. Bas Vaessen is also out with flu.
