Four Named for FIM European Under-19

Great Britain Youth boss Neil Vatcher has made his four selections for the FIM European Under-19 Qualifier in Pardubice on August 14.

Drew Kemp, Jason Edwards, Anders Rowe and Tom Brennan will make the trip to the Czech Republic, bidding for places in the Final in Slovakia two days later.

Vatcher said: “Obviously after having a quiet season for most of the time this year, the last few weeks have been hectic organising which riders will be competing in FIM events which are taking place next month.

“As previously stated, there are a number of quality Under-21 riders that we are keen to give European experience, so this competition is a fantastic opportunity for these boys.

“Without any season in the UK to date, I have no current form to base the pick of riders from, so the four picked for this qualifier are the top three from the British Under-19 Final in 2019, with the fourth allocation given to Tom.

“He unfortunately missed most of the 2019 season with a broken leg, but has pedigree in this event having qualified for the Final in 2018.”

Young Lions are appealing for any sponsors to help the riders with the purchase of tyres for these events. Anyone interested should email younglionsspeedway@hotmail.co.uk.
