Billy Askew joins Team GB for Coupe de l’Avenir
By Team TMX on 14th Sep 23
A handpicked team that features some of the UK's leading youth and young adult motocross riders will travel to Belgium in two weeks’ time to set up for the Coupe de l’Avenir on the Ferme des Monts circuit in Baisieux, Belgium.
12 teams from across Europe will contest the FIM world-ranking event over the weekend of September 30/ October 1 with Team GB fielding an uber-strong line up for the ‘Under-21 Motocross of Nations’.
Fresh from a solid finish at the 2023 FIM Junior Motocross World Championship in July, team manager Dave Willet has every confidence in his selection of riders - “I believe we have a great chance of success this year with super-fast competitors entered in the Coupe, 85cc and 65cc classes. Casey Lister, Harley Marczak, Cohen Jagielski, Robbie Daly, Hayden Statt and Ollie Colmer all rode their hearts out for Team GB at the Junior Worlds back in July and we know their strengths. They are joined by Finley Pickering, Billy Askew and Joel Rizzi who have proved themselves to be at the very top of their game.
"Thanks to the ACU for giving these young riders the opportunity to represent their country and to the companies and all individuals and their families who support the team.”
