Back-to-back World MX2 Champ Jeffrey Herlings will be at the International Dirt Bike Show on Friday 1st November 2013 to meet and greet his army of UK fans.
Motocross race enthusiasts disappointed not to see him in action at Matterley Basin last month will now get the chance to meet the KTM star when he spends the day at Stoneleigh Park. Armed with a stash of posters, Herlings who, unfortunately, after wrapping up the MX2 championship some three rounds early, was side-lined through injury and missed the British round of the series, will be based around the KTM stand, complete with his championship-winning bike, ready to sign autographs and greet fans.
The 19-year-old world champ is no stranger to the Show. As World MX2 runner-up, he made his debut appearance at the 2011 Show. He impressed show visitors who witnessed his on-stage interviews with his confident and mature outlook. At that show, he made clear his intention to become the next MX2 World Champ and he did just that the following year.
To hear what Herlings has to say about his world championship-winning years and what he thinks the future holds, check out the stage timetables at the Show on Friday and head to the main stage, hosted by Jack Burnicle, in hall two.
On the trials front, Steve Colley returns to the International Dirt Bike Show with his popular trials bike stunt show. A former three-time British solo trials champ and four-time winner at the Scottish Six Days Trial, Colley will showcase the new 2014 GasGas bikes and keep crowds entertained every day of the Show in the action-packed hall four live arena. Expect to see Steve performing wheelies, stoppies, donuts and 180o flip turns before progressing to ramps, pyramids, Sprinter van hopping and a box trailer seven foot vertical step-up and climaxing with his unique mono bike routine where he'll fly around the arena on a bike, without the front wheel.
Many believe that when it comes to motorsport events, the International Dirt Bike Show is totally unique, with its friendly, family atmosphere, astonishing value for money and opportunity to mix it with off-road legends. The 2013 show will not disappoint.
