JWR Honda Racing – Lommel MXGP Update: Lars van Berkel Joins the Team!
Race fans, we’ve got some exciting news to share!
When you think of sand racing, one name always comes to mind — Lars van Berkel. That’s why we picked up the phone and gave him a call all the way in Canada. With Cornelius Töndel sidelined, we asked Lars if he could step in and represent JWR Honda Racing at the legendary Lommel MXGP.
Short story: He’s in!
We’re thrilled to announce that Lars van Berkel will race for JWR Honda this weekend in Lommel. The entire team is pumped to welcome Lars onboard. It means a lot to have great friends like him, always ready for a new challenge — even at short notice.
A huge thank you to Guaranteed Comfort Racing, and to Chris Egan and Brayden Kalte, for making this opportunity possible. Your support means the world to us.
Of course, Lars needs no introduction in the paddock. He’s a true gentleman, a friend to many, and one of the fastest sand racers on the planet. Lommel is practically home for him.
And a big shout-out to Madestickers for delivering top-quality work, even under time pressure — you always come through!
Let’s go sand surfing at Lommel – welcome to the team, Lars!
