André Malherbe (born 21 March 1956) is a Belgian former professional Grand Prix motocross racer. He won three F.I.M. 500cc motocross World Championships.
Born in Huy, the son of a motorcycle dealer, Malherbe began racing at an early age and earned his racing licence in 1973. He rode a Zündapp to win the 1973 FIM 125cc European motocross championship, and repeated as champion in 1974. Malherbe finished the 1977 season third in the 250cc motocross world championship. Malherbe moved up to the 500cc world championship in 1978 and finished the season as the highest scoring KTM rider in sixth place. He joined the Honda factory racing team in 1979 and improved to a third place finish in the 500cc world championship. In 1980, he captured his first 500cc world championship as a member of the Honda factory racing team. Malherbe successfully defended his title in 1981 and in 1984 he won his third 500cc world championship for Honda. At the time of his retirement, Malherbe's 41 Grand Prix race victories placed him fourth on the all-time winners list.

DVD available here: http://bit.ly/12xvTjE Download also available: http://bit.ly/12xvTjE Massive leaps over the plentiful jumps of the rock hard Guadalajara circuit are the riveting feature of the 1985 Spanish Motocross Grand Prix. Honda ace Andre Malherbe is 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 has 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.

This story is from Brad Lackey's Motocross File which was the first episode of the highly acclaimed series. It originally aired in November of 2005. Brad Lackey was the very first interview for the series promo in 2003. This story was taken from the show and highlights Brad's final run for the championship and success in August of 1982 against Belgian, Andre Vromans. The strategy for Brad to win against a Belgian on their home turf is something they make movies about. Amazing research from his crew and confidence in Brad's ability that day.
