The British Supercross Championship bursts back into action with a vengeance with three nights of racing over two consecutive weekends. It all gets going at Liverpool's Echo Arena on Friday January 23rd and Saturday the 24th, followed by the finale at The O2 Arena, London on Saturday January 31st.
The series has attracted the best of British Supercross riders and an impressive line-up of international riders from the US, Canada, South Africa, France, Spain, Ireland and Scandinavia. The US will be represented by current British SX1 champ and former US outdoor champ Mike Brown and latest additions to the line-up US rider Zach Osborne and Teddy Maier who will be making their British Supercross debuts.
Osborne impressed GP fans by winning his first GP in Ireland in 2008 and will be competing on a Dixon UTAG Yamaha. Kawasaki rider Teddy Maier from Iowa has made a name for himself in US Arena-cross and more recently the Canadian Arena-cross and Motocross Championships.
Speaking of Canadians Dixon UTAG Yamaha will also be represented at both Liverpool and London by three Canadian riders, also British Supercross regulars with SX2 British Supercross Champ Colton Facciotti, who took the win in the SX1 class at Sheffield back in October. Joining him will be former Canadian Arena-cross champion and last year's winner at The O2 Arena, Kyle Beaton plus five times Canadian MX1 champion Jean Sebastian Roy better known as JSR. Other Canadians making the trip over the Atlantic will be last year's Liverpool SX2 winner Kris Foster, who will be joined by fellow Canadian Kawasaki team-mate Brock Hoyer on DK Offroad Kawasaki's. South African's Neville Bradshaw and Lloyd Vercuiel, Spain's Xavier Hernandez and Norwegian Rasmus Jorgensen will also add to the international line-up
The best of the UK will also be raring to go. Ireland's PAR Honda rider Gordon Crockard, Relentless Suzuki's Martin Barr and former British Outdoor and Supercross Champ MVRD Suzuki rider Carl Nunn are amongst the favourites for the new British Open Supercross title as is head to head star Ashley Greedy. Greedy, the hugely popular head to head dash for cash star will keep the fans on the edge of their seats adding to the entertainment.
New for Liverpool and London will be the first ever appearance of Quads in British Supercross, with a record numbers of rider entrees and very strong pre-ticket sales at both venues it all promises to be a great conclusion to the official ACU FIM backed British Supercross Championship.
