Battle of Britain
By Alex Hodgkinson on 12th Aug 11
THE return of the British GP and the return of Matterley Basin is just one-week away for the home-based UK fans who have been starved of world class action for more than two-years.
The MX1 and MX2 class have never been more thrilling, as Toni Cairoli continues to control the main class despite ever-growing opposition, while Ken Roczen and Jeffrey Herlings are going head-to-head for MX2 gold.
Add in the British challenge, augmented by global visitor Billy MacKenzie in MX1 and headed by Tommy Searle and Max Anstie in MX2, not to mention the Veterans World Cup with Phil Mercer going for the title, and the amazing spectacle and sound of the two-stroke Euro series, and it is a weekend not to be missed.
To whet your appetite T+MX gives you the run-down on 16 top names in each of the GP classes – the bench racing can begin!
