The 2017 Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship MX1, MX2, MXY2 and Two-Stroke rider lists are out. As it stands we’ll have a new British champion this year with MX2 reigning champion Adam Sterry not contesting in the series.
You’ll notice that Shaun Simpson is missing from the MX1 list – I think the best we can hope for there is a wild card entry at some point in the series. It’s great to see Nev Bradshaw entered in the Two-Stroke. He can’t help but race – you’ve gotta love that.
