The Crendon Fastrack Honda duo of Conrad Mewse and Josh Gilbert will go into the weekend as hot favourites in the Pro MX1 category, but they will have stiff competition from the returning SC Sporthomes Husqvarna Russian racer Evgeny Bobryshev, who has been given permission to return to the track. Other riders who will be pushing towards the sharp end in MX1 will be Chambers Racing Husqvarna’s Dan Thornhill, Ultimate Wheels Honda racer Brad Todd, Phoenix Even Strokes Kawasaki’s Jay Hague, Liam Knight, and 2 stroke king Brad Anderson.
In MX2 last years runner up Callum Mitchell will be looking to go one better while Carlton Husband will be a surefire contendor as will Ben Franklin and the returning Lewis Hall. It will also be interesting to see how GTCI Revo Kawasaki young gun Billy Askew goes after dominating the Youth classes of the Revo British and MX Nationals so far this year.
While the Pro races are just on the Sunday, the Junior 65’s, Small Wheel and Big Wheel 85, MXY2, Clubman and Amateur Classes will be fighting it out over four moto’s with two on Saturday and two on Sunday.
