Eimbert Timmermans

Eimbert Timmermans is a Dutch sidecarcross rider, born on 24 October 1961, who won the sidecarcross World Championship twice, in 1991 and 1992, and is now retired from racing. Every one of his successes came with Eric Verhagen as his passenger. The pair also won the Dutch national sidecarcross championship four times, in 1986, 1989, 1990 and 1992. They first entered the world championship in 1986 and finished sixteenth, then climbed to fifth in 1988 with a first race win at the Dutch Grand Prix, before taking the title in 1991 and defending it in 1992. Both men retired after that season, though Timmermans returned for six races in 1995 with a new passenger, Andre Visser, without success. After racing he founded a transport company, Timtrans, and took part in the 2009 Dakar Rally as a truck mechanic.
