Line-Up for First NEC British Supercross Championship Rounds

  • Line-Up for First NEC British Supercross Championship Rounds
With one week to go to the opening round of the Future West ACU British Supercross Championship at Hall 5 of the NEC on Saturday November 28th the rider line up is looking very interesting in all classes.
 
Defending SX1 and SX2 Champ Mike Brown will be back to run the #1  plate. Steve Dixon's U-tag Yamaha team will be fielding a large four man rider line-up starting with US rider Zach Osborne. Osborne would have been a strong contender for last year's SX1 and SX2 titles had he not missed the opening round at Sheffield. This year Osborne will be competing in the whole series in his quest to pry away the #1 plates from Brownie who just happens to be his friend and neighbour states side. It's not going to be a walk in the park for Osborne or Brown as recent German Supercross winner and fellow American Cole Siebler will be joining the British series at the NEC on the second weekend on December 5th. Siebler recently split wins with Kyle Beaton at the opening rounds of the Canadian Arenacross Championship in Chilliwack, British Columbia.
 
Newly Crowned Canadian MX1 champ and 2 time British Supercross champ Colton Facciotti will be back to contest the whole series on Dixon Utag Yamaha's. With two consecutive Canadian MX1 titles under his belt Facciotti will be on a mission to get back his British title from Mike Brown and add a third BSX title to his growing collection. Another Canadian who will be returning to the UK is Kyle Beaton. Beaton is well known and liked by the British fans for his never say die come from behind style of racing best demonstrated at Cardiff a few years ago when he worked his way through the field to take the win and more recently at The O2 in London in 08 when he did the came from behind and pipped Mike Brown to the post. Beaton will also be contesting the whole series again on a Dixon prepared YZ250F.

Some new, to the British Supercross Championship Americans, will also be competing this year including Ben Lamay who will be riding a Samsung Yamaha and Ryan Blizzard who will be on board a Merideth Suzuki. If that's not enough two more Canadians will be making the trip, Spencer Knowles will be the fourth member of the Dixon Yamaha squad, Knowles is touted as being one of the big names of the future from Canucksville. The 16 year old from Vancouver trains with Kyle Beaton and has picked up some of Beaton's speed and determination. The final Canadian on the list for the NEC is Colton McLean from Vancouver Island, McLean will be riding a DK Off Road prepared Suzuki.

There are a couple of disappointments, one being Mike Alessi's withdrawal from all Supercross events including European, Australian and US events. Future West's John Hellam had this to say about the controversial Alessi, "Mike was supposed to come to our Sheffield event last year but was unable to because of an injury, his absence did not hurt the series as the racing was very close without him. This year any one of a number of great riders could win with such an evenly matched field." Another possible change to the line up is the possibility that defending British Open Supercross champion Carl Nunn will not be fully fit in time for the opening round at the NEC. If that turns out to be the case Nunn will join the series for the last 2 rounds at Liverpool on January 23rd and London on January 30th.
 
With the possibility of Nunn missing the opening round, the door is wide open for the British Open Supercross Championship. Ulster's, Gordon Crockard who narrowly lost last year's championship to Nunn in the last race at The O2 will be a strong contender again this year. Crockstar has fully recovered after his Hawkstone Park incident and is chomping at the bit. Crockard will have some strong competition with his fellow countryman Martin Barr. Barr had to dip out of last year's series after receiving an injury at round 2 in Liverpool and is all fired up to put his Relentless Suzuki up front and clinch a British Supercross title. Elliot Banks Browne will be making his début on for DB Racing Honda and will be there to spoil Crockard and Barr's plans as will LPE's Kawasaki Kristian Whatley and Honda's Jordan Rose.
