SJP Moto move to KTM - introduce 2021 line-up
By Team TMX on 4th Jan 21
SJP Moto has announced their rider line-up for the 2021 season, which will include the team making the switch to KTM machinery after many years on Husqvarna.
For 2021 the four-rider line-up will be headed by Charlie Heyman and Jayden Haigh on the 125cc machines, while Billy Askew will remain on the Big Wheel 85 along with Reece Jones on the Small Wheel machine.
After claiming the Michelin MX Nationals Big Wheel 85cc Championship in 2020 where Charlie Heyman went unbeaten all year, the promising youngster will move up to the 125cc KTM and look to claim the MXY1 title at the MX Nationals.
Alongside Heyman on the 125 is Jayden Haigh who will be pushing to improve on his results from 2020 and aim to be challenging at the front in his sophomore year.
Billy Askew moved up to the Big Wheel in 2020 and was an instant hit finishing second in the MX Nationals and will have his eyes firmly set on the title for 2021. Also during the 2021 season, the team and Billy will be travelling to Europe as they compete in the European 85cc championship.
Finally, 2019 British 65cc Champion, Reece Jones will be lining up on the Small Wheel 85cc machine once again and challenging for National honours as he returns from a broken leg earlier in 2020.
SJP introduce satellite team
For 2021 SJP Moto will also be introducing a new satellite team under the name of SJP Moto R2R KTM with the support of Arm Pump product Relax2Race.
The three-rider line-up will feature James Barker and Hudson Roper on the 125cc KTM machine while multi-time British Girls National Champion Lucy Barker will be contesting on the Big Wheel 85. All three riders will be competing in the MX Nationals.
