The HIMX team are delighted to confirm the attendance of double World MX2 Champion Jeffrey Herlings who will ride at the Hawkstone International on the February 23 2014.

Herlings was scheduled to ride at the event in 2013 before the weather forced the event to be cancelled. Herlings will ride once again in 2014 for the official factory Red Bull KTM team.

Dutchman Jeffrey dominated the World Championship scene winning 15 of the 17 overall races missing two rounds due to injury and is eager to make his debut at the Hawkstone International in 2014.
