Following six action packed pulsating rounds which all kicked off in the snow at Brampton in March the BYMX series then went on the road visiting both Scotland and Northern Ireland and it all comes to a thrilling climax this weekend at Milton Park near Northampton. A total of seven new British champions will be crowned and the ACU flagship circuit in the capable hands of BA Promotions will play host to what should be the best championship decider of recent years. It's very often said that "It's all going right down to the wire" and in the both the Youth Open and BW/85cc sections that would appear to be a cast iron certainty this year.
Adam Sterry has had his pedal pressed firmly to the EVO Tech Honda metal throughout the second half of the season and following sensational victory at the previous three rounds he now jointly leads the way in the Youth Open section. Sterry drawing level with the longtime leader of the series Nathan Watson on the HM Plant Red Bull KTM . Manxman Jamie McCanney on the Road and Track KTM has also been in terrific form over the closing rounds and he is now just four points off top spot. Although at the time of going to press there is a doubt surrounding McCanney's fitness with a suspected broken wrist. The 2011 title will be claimed by one of the trio and it's sure to be a tension packed nail biter. Looking further down the table at positions four five and six, Jake Millward, Scott Hamilton and Damon Brooks will be all out to impress.
The situation in the BW85cc division is just as tight as that found in the Open section with another three guys quite tantalisingly up for the ultimate gold prize. Brad Todd on the Ian Ridley backed Honda, Liam Knight on the RMJ Maverick KTM and Jack Gardner on the MX World Honda are the names in the frame and currently just six points separate them. Todd leads the way with Gardner in third, but as in the Open it will be a three way winner takes all affair. Matthew Callaghan took a terrific overall win at round six and he's currently in fourth place and will be out for another top step show. Rob Davidson another member of the Honda club sits in championship fifth with Stuart Fee on the Suzuki in sixth.
In the remaining two sections the championship spoils are very much clearer cut. Alexander Brown on the MotoOne KTM heads the Junior 65cc standings - twenty six points clear of Jed Etchells with Ireland's Callum Meara a further twenty nine back in third. The battle for fourth and fifth place however is absolutely in the balance with Colin Scott just one point ahead of Adam Dunn. Twisted 7's Harry Kimber is currently in sixth but Oliver Costerdine will be all eyes for an upwards improvement.
Somerset's Conrad Mewse leads the way in the SW 85cc ranks holding a virtually unassailable thirty eight point margin over second placed Jay Hague. Durham lad Hague has in turn a forty two point advantage over third placed Jordan Eccles - and at the end of the season it could well be all about weekend bragging rights. Having said that however David Keet on the Twisted 7 Kawasaki and ACU Academy rider Taylor Hamal are both within striking distance of third placed Eccles and a terrific scrap for the bronze could develop. Aaron Piper, Alfie Mountford and Jamie Carpenter are next in the list locked together in a close battle for championship sixth.
As an added bonus there will be a fifth youth champion crowned when in Saturday action the auto class pilots go head to head over four heats for the 2011 British title. And in Sunday action the British Adult Two Stroke champions will also be decided.
