Climbing the Championship points table from 9th Overall in 2018 to taking WMX Opening Round win at Valkenswaard in March, Verstappen takes pride in completing season with challenges and wins over 5 Round Series.

#274 on WMX Final Round: ‘First race wasn’t good. I don’t know why but I couldn’t find my rhythm. Second race was better as throughout the race I was fighting for p3 but couldn’t make the pass’.

Having nailed 2-2 in the tricky sands of Valkenswaard at WMX Round 1, Amandine then struck unfortunate incidents at WMX of Portugal. With another crash in WMX Round 3 at Czech Republic in Race 1, Amandine then came back and secured 3rd’s in both Race 2 at Czech and at WMX of Italy in Race 2- 3 weeks later.

#274: ‘Yeah I think I made a big step this year. I’m happy about that but not lucky which cost me some podiums this season. But it’s like that’.

With success gained in taking 2019 French Women MX Champion, Amandine re-sets in preparation for 2020 WMX season which has surprise annoucement in store.

#274: ‘Hmmm stay tuned for more news for next season. Some changes. I’m excited to announce but I have to wait haha!.
