YOUNGSTERS HEAD TO SWEDEN

TWO SGP3 Qualifiers take place in Vastervik, Sweden today (Wednesday) as the best 250cc riders from around the World compete to qualify for the SGP3 Final at the Grand Prix venue of Malilla on Friday.                                    

William Cairns and Cooper Rushen have travelled across to Sweden to represent Great Britian with Rushen competing in the first semi-final and Cairns in the second on Wednesday evening.

The two British riders, who were paired together in the FIM European 250cc Pairs in Slovenia ten days ago, go up against opposition not only from Europe but riders who have travelled from Australia and the USA.

The aim for the two British riders will be initially a top-eight finish which would put them into Friday’s SGP3 Final.

Whilst in Sweden for the SGP3, the two British riders will also be competing in the second round of the FIM European 250cc Pairs, which will take place on Sunday at the Motala track.
