The organisers of the Be Wiser Hawkstone International has announced this evening that Red Bull KTM’s Jeffrey Herlings will compete at Hawkstone Park on February 11, 2018.

Although Herlings’ love of the Hawkstone event is on record, after he missed this year’s event it was no sure thing that ‘The Bullet’ would be ‘in’ for the 2018 edition of the famous pre-season international.

As one of the biggest stars in world motocross and undoubtedly one of the fastest riders on the planet, the signing of Herlings is a major coup for HIMX.

“Getting Jeffrey back to our event after missing out on him last February is the best news we could hope for,” declared HIMX’s Gary Ford. “In my opinion, he is the fastest rider in the world and always puts on a good show whenever he comes to Hawkstone Park.

“This was one of my main aims to get him back for 2018 and I am sure the crowd will be very pleased also.”

MX1, MX2 and MXY2 entries are now open, contact Gary Ford ford542@btinternet.com for further information.
