Hawkstone is where it’s at
February 29, 2008
The final pre-season international hits Hawkstone Park this weekend with a line up of riders as good as any GP. World champion Steve Ramon, British champion Billy Mackenzie, Josh Coppins, Ken Dydycker and Marc De Reuver top the MX1 class – no doubt Billy Mac will be charging for a win and with the support of the thousands likely to grace the historic circuit, Billy will be on it!
In the MX2 class we have Tommy Searle, Stephen Sword, Shaun Simpson, Jeremy Van Horebeek and Rui Goncalves all are out to prove they have good early season form and look to keep the momentum going forward for the first GP in a few weeks.
