A spokesman for ACU Events commented, " Having Pichon with us for the rest of the year and this one off appearance of Roczen and Tonus is fantastic for the championship. Mickael still has a huge fan base and he is not coming to make up the numbers. In the shorter 20 minute plus two laps races (three for each class) we can expect him to be right at the sharp end of the action."
The Buildbase CCM team of Stephen Sword and Tom Church, together with the Cosworth Utag Yamaha UK squad of American Zach Osborne and British Teenager, Mel Pocock have withdrawn from other events in recent weeks, specifically to prepare for this major event. They will also be joined by the CAS Honda squad of Russian Evgeny Bobreshev and South African, Gareth Swanepoel, whilst the HM Plant Red Bull team of Jake Nicholls and Graeme Irwin will challenge for the top spot. Current MX1 champion, Jordie Brad Anderson, will also be there with his hard riding style.
Timed Training starts at 9.30am, with the first of six championship races at 12.30pm. Race fans can also view some Club Road Racing on the tarmac circuit free of charge and the motocross event has a MXY2 (Youth) support class of two races. The riders will all be available to everyone for an Autograph session at approx 11.35am.
Admission prices are pegged at £20 for adults and £5 for children with a family ticket costing just £45. Mallory Park is easily reached from the M6, M1, M69 and M42 motorways, which will make it a must for a day of motorcycle action.
