TOP YOUNGSTERS HEAD FOR WORKINGTON

BRITISH Youth boss Neil Vatcher is delighted to see two top FIM Youth events coming to British shores at Workington this weekend.

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

Both meetings feature 20-rider line-ups packed with the sport’s top rising talent, with strong representation from Great Britain who are represented by Jessica Cox, Fraser Buckle, George Climo, Lewis Hague and Douglas Marshall.

Vatcher said: “It’s something that we’re really excited about because these meetings have never been in the UK before.

“In my opinion it’s like a mini-Grand Prix, just smaller engines and younger guys, but the racing is so competitive.

“Anyone who hasn’t witnessed this previously who is able to pop along for one or ideally both days will I’m sure be really impressed.

“It’s the best young riders in Europe and Australia and they’re all of very similar calibre. The racing is always good and these riders always give it everything.

“It’s going to be a great weekend of Youth speedway and the five British riders would very much appreciate some support.”

Both meetings get underway at 3pm and adult admission is just £15 per day, with a joint deal of £25 for both days.
