The Michelin MX Nationals have released a solution for the forthcoming date clash with the Revo ACU British Motocross Championships by allowing riders to compete at their event on the Sunday only, although they will lose out on points by missing the Saturday.

On their Facebook page they released this statement:
“As most of you know there is a clash of championships on the 19th/20th June between the MX Nationals and the Revo ACU championship.
Although this is far from ideal and certainly not something the MX Nationals wanted, it is not possible to change, so we must deal with the challenge ahead.
Firstly, It is great to see the support we have in the paddock with many riders booking in for both days at Hawkstone.
In an effort to make this situation work for as many riders as we can, we will try and accommodate those riders attending Foxhill on the Saturday and where possible allow them to ride on the Sunday only.
They will obviously lose championship points from not attending Saturdays racing, but we will make it so that all riders re qualify on Sunday.
The schedule for the weekend will be almost identical to round 1 apart from a Sunday morning 10min timed session for grid positions in all classes.
There will be no sighting laps then before race one on Sunday.
This is an impossible situation so please work with us.
