BIG WEEKEND AT WORKINGTON

WORKINGTON are preparing to host the cream of the World’s top young talent with two major events over the weekend.

The Comets host the FIM Track Racing Youth Gold Trophy on Saturday, followed by the European 125cc Youth Track Racing Cup on Sunday.

Five of Great Britain’s youngsters – Lewis Hague, Fraser Buckle, George Climo, Douglas Marshall and Jessica Cox – will be featuring in a muti-national line-up which includes newly crowned SGP4 champion Blake Schlein of Australia.

Workington co-promoter James Denham said: “Young Schlein is definitely a superstar, he’s got everything.

“It’s brilliant for the club to host such a fantastic event, and to see some of the World’s youngest racers.

“These are probably future World Champions on 500s, riders who will be in the GP in ten years, so it’s fantastic for the club and hopefully we’ll have a few more coming down to cheer these young kids on.”
