R.I.P. André Malherbe (21/03/1956 – 24/11/2022) | Motocross legend

Motocross legend and three-time FIM 500cc Motocross World Champion André Malherbe, sadly passed away on the 24th Novemember 2022 at the age of sixty-six. Having previously won the FIM 125cc European Motocross Championship in 1973 and 1974, the Belgian ace stepped up to the 500cc class in 1978 and captured his first championship title in 1980 for Honda and added to his tally in 1981 and 1984. In total, Malherbe had 41 Motocross GP wins to his name, placing him fourth in the all-time winners list. In this clip we look back at the 1985 Spanish Motocross Grand Prix at the rock hard Guadalajara circuit in what was a double race winning meeting for André Malherbe, who was the star of the show. He pegged back Britain’s Dave Thorpe with a tigerish display of riding which had the Senors and Signores agog with admiration. Overcoming leg burns from the Belgian GP, Malherbe masterfully demonstrated how he had progressed from his early 125cc Yamaha beginnings to being 1984 World Champion. In the end the Kawasaki of Georges Jobe made it a Belgian one-two, with Britain’s Thorpe and Kurt Nicoll third and fourth.
