Who'll be the Juan Challenging Knight?
By TMX Archives on 4th Feb 10
JON Tuck and Matt Sparkes will be aiming to get the 2010 ChallengeLusky.com British Sidecar Trials Championship off to a winning start in the Isle of Man this weekend.
The defending champions lost out in the corresponding Andy Smith Trophy Trial last year when local all-rounder Juan Knight pulled off a surprise win with seasoned passenger Chris Molyneux. The Manx pair are tackling the Peveril MCC event again and wise-cracking Knight is doing his best to wind-up the three-wheel brigade by saying that his pre-event training and practice regime will consist of completing a couple of laps of the car park on the 300 Gas Gas before the start of the event in the island's ancient parliamentary home of St John's on Saturday morning.
The truth of the matter is that Knight, a former British Enduro Champion and Weston-super-Mare beach race winner, hasn't even sat on a sidecar since last year's winning ride!
So, is he still a threat? You bet he is.
