The fastest sand rider of all time, Red Bull KTM factory rider, Jeffrey Herlings will probably make his HRC debut at the Hawkstone International, in England on February 15 and without doubt, this race will bring a huge crowd.

I think we all look forward to seeing the five time world champion on a Honda and unless he races some other pre-season races, which he usually doesn't, then this will be it.

As always, Hawkstone will fill its gates and do not be surprised to see others like Kay De Wolf, Liam Everts, Romain Febvre and so many more sand specialists arrive. Please Hawkstone, how about a little of Lucas Coenen and his blazing fast brother Sasha also in the line-up.

I don't mind a little Herlings vs Coenen vs de Wolf vs Febvre for a lead-up to the opening round of the MXGP championship, possibly in Abu Dhabi. Man, 2026 is going to be a war zone of the highest order.
