Born in 1972 in
Bree (near
Antwerp), Everts has been riding motocross races since he was 10; unsurprisingly he has a family background in the sport - his father Harry was also a four-times World Champion. His
purple patch in the mid 1990s was followed by a succession of injuries which kept him off a bike for nearly two years, but his comeback has been eminently successful.
