Want to race for the UEM?
By TMX Archives on 14th Jan 10
THE ACU has received communication indicating that the UEM will be establishing a Promotional Enduro team' of three European U23 riders for the 2010 European Enduro Championship.
The team will consist of three young riders (maximum age 23) wishing to gain International experience but lacking in the necessary economic means to contest the championship and will be supported by Husqvarna (who will provide machines), the UFO plastic company and of course the UEM.
Mucci Racing will manage the team, which will contest the four rounds
of the 2010 European Enduro Championship in the E1 Junior and E2 Junior classes.
Initial details are that each rider will be provided with a Husqvarna practice machine as well as a race machine, together with spares, tyres and clothing. In addition full support facilities will be made available at each round of the series.
Entry fees, travel and accommodation costs for each event would be the individual rider's own responsibility.
There is expected to be selection process undertaken in Italy – but initially federations have been asked to provide details of any suitable, interested riders who may wish to apply.
Obviously with only three riders to be selected throughout Europe, the required standards will be high.
Interested riders should contact Mary Kerr at the ACU – mary.kerr@ acu.org.uk or 01788-566403 (tel) or 01788-573585 (fax) – in the first instance, and should immediately send in a completed and suitable CV and record of results in events such as WEC, UEM and BEC Enduro events.
From these applications, suitable candidates will be selected and forwarded to the UEM.
Please reply by January 18 in order to comply with the deadline.
