Christy Harnett in action at last years British Supercross

The weekend coming sees the start of the 09/10 British Supercross season and there is a big number of Irish lads heading over! Christy Harnett will be a man to watch after his success in the Youths mx2 last year. He achieved a fine 3rd overall, despite missing the first round. Also up is Jim O’Neill, who will be looking to put his bad luck from last year behind him, and has the speed to be up there with Christy. Other riders including Robert Lyons, Ian Jones and James White in the youth mx2 class, as well as James Doyle in the 85cc class. Keith Mckiverigan is traveling over to ride in the Adult clubman class also.

As well as all the local lads, Northern Ireland Martin Barr and Gordon Crockard will be traveling over to race in the Pro series. The Crockstar is fighting fit and has bounced back from his horrific crash in Hawkstone earlier in the year and will be looking to do one better then his 2nd place finish in the championship last year. However the two USA boys Mike Brown and Zach Osbourne will be tough opposition!

Good luck to all the lads racing over there this year, and keep an eye on the flatout.ie forums for regular updates on how they are getting on throughout the race weekends!
