The legend gone too soon

This is Roger DeCoster's hero. Rene Bataen. Roger is Joel Smets' hero. And Joel is Jago Greets hero. We stand on the shoulders of the giants that precede us.

Refreshing to see somebody else who knows some history of the sport. 😃😃

Great watching this , thank you . It was just a bit before my time. The earliest I can remember watching is Jeff Smith and Dave Bickers. They were the top two when I was a young boy.

Hi Choppy! It's before my time on the tracks as well, but I bet one of my Motocross Idols, Roger DeCoster (when I was clocking his wonderment in the early to mid '70's) was somewhere there in the crowds taking notes on how to become a Champion!
