Who to watch: Top Youth picks for 2021 MXGB Championship

British Motocross Championship Culham
The 2021 Revo ACU British Motocross Championship Fuelled by Gulf Race Fuels starts its long-awaited season this weekend at Culham in Oxfordshire (May1/2).
If you've already digested our 2021 MXGB season preview and our red-hot picks for the Pro classes, then this rundown of the Youth starlets is the perfect next stop for you moto geeks who like to first out of the gate!
There's plenty to unpack, so let's dig right in...
MXY2
Initially, both the BW85 and MXY2 classes were down to race at all 11 rounds of the Revo ACU British Motocross Championship Fuelled by Gulf Race Fuels but after the most recent MXGP calendar update, which in turn lead to an MXGB update, a round of the MXY2 championship had to be jettisoned as it would have clashed with the EMX125/250 round at Matterley Basin. So, now the MXY2 crew will do battle at 10 of the 11 rounds of the series instead.
The entry list for the MXY2 class is absolutely packed with talent, with a crazy mixture of both 125cc two-stroke and 250cc four-stroke-mounted competitors. Historically, the MXY2 class has always been fairly wide open and consistency in the results is rare as the talent pool is so damn deep. We could well see more of that this season but we expect to see a more regular pattern develop due to the high frequency of events.
The current MXY2 champion is Joel Rizzi and obviously he wont be defending his title as hes now a full-blown MX2 world championship competitor with Livia Lancelots 114 Motosports team.
Jack Grayshon
Skipping down the 2019 series standings past those whove aged out of the class or moved up into MX2 and the first name we see who is signed up for 2021 is Jack Grayshon. Grayshon came within a whisker of winning an MXY2 moto at Hawkstone Park on his Apico Motohead machine back in 2019 so on that info alone wed have to say he was a shoo-in for class honours this time around. Not so
