EVERYONE knows by now that former Sheffield Supercross Youth star Tommy Searle will be returning to the Hallam FM Arena, on November 3, for his first Pro SX appearance where he will be out to further prove that the best of British can take on the best from around the World.
Over the past 11 years, the Sheffield Supercrosshas gained recognition as the home of British Supercross and as aproving ground for up and coming schoolboy talent like Tommy, andSheffield fan favourite Max Anstie who will also return to the arena aweek on Saturday to defend his 100% winning Sheffield record.
Max, son of famed GP star Mervyn, has amazedBritish Supercross fans with a flawless win record since his Sheffielddebut on a 65cc machine several years ago, and his stylish on trackperformances and crowd pleasing podium speeches have made him aspopular with the race goers as many of the big-name adult stars.
Using Sheffield as a warm-up before defending hisprestigious Bercy SX crown the following weekend, Max will again begoing all out to take the win in the 85cc class.
He may have his work cut out this year though ashis success has caught the eye of a US rival Logan Karow who is beingtipped as one of the next big names on the US MX horizon. Logan will becrossing the pond to compete against Max and the rest of the Britishlads in the 85cc class at Sheffield to add some international flavour,and hopefully a bit of a race too.
