Moto3: Jurgen Van Den Goorbergh, at 52 years old riding the BeOn at Vallelunga

Many will remember him for his past in the 500, in the years between 1997 and 2005. We are talking about the Dutchman Jurgen Van Den Goorbergh, a good privateer on the Honda and then on the Muz and also on the Proton of Kenny Roberts sr.

Jurgen, two fifths and a sixth place - but a memorable one: from 19th to 6th overall in China as Makoto Tamada's replacement - at the age of 52 got on the BeOn 450 GP at Vallelunga for a cognitive ride. We don't have the times, but he certainly didn't go slow!
