allthegearbutnaeidea 1,734 Posted May 24, 2017 What is this? Is this new? And why do we have 2 U21 riders in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not new but previously the BSPA did not want anything to do with FIM EUROPE events. probably under pressure from the ACU they have agreed to enter this and the U21 championship. as for using the U21 riders - to give them experience.
