World Vets Motocross secures title sponsor
By Team TMX on 12th Apr 24
The crew behind the World Vets Motocross event, which runs at Farleigh Castle on the weekend of July 20/21, has just announced that S Briggs Commercials – a name that’s becoming synonymous with supporting the motocross industry – will take on the role of title sponsor for the popular race event for riders aged 25 and over.
Last year's event was a huge success and left an indelible mark on the public, riders and legends. Fans were overjoyed to interact with their beloved riders, who graciously spent their evenings engaging in lively conversations, signing autographs, and mingling with everyone and this year's edition looks like being another memorable one.
The rider lineup is yet to be fully finalised although it has been confirmed that Mike Brown will be returning and it’s looking like he’ll be riding a Triumph TF250-X for the first time at the event. The ever-charming Jeff Emig also returns and is excited to take in the Farleigh atmosphere again. Jeff was a huge favourite with the fans in 2023.
Joining the two US riders will be some homegrown favourites from the UK with multiple British Champion and MX2 silver medallist Tommy Searle expected to lead the way. He’ll be joined by Britain's last Motocross World Champion Jamie Dobb and Kurt Nicoll who knows a thing or two about picking up silver medals. Kurt's 1994 MXDN-winning teammate, Rob Herring will also be racing and it will be the first time you can catch Kurt and Rob together in the UK this year.
But wait, there's more! The event will also feature the thrilling racing skills of Brian Wheeler, Jake Nicholls, Ryan Hunt, Brad Anderson, Billy MacKenzie, Mark Eastwood, Glen Phillips, Ryan Voase, Neville Bradshaw, Greg Hanson and Belgium’s Marc Velkeneers. Their participation is sure to add an extra layer of excitement to the event.
Spencer Briggs, Director of title sponsor S Briggs Commercials can’t wait for the action to begin. “It's great to be involved with the World Vets Motocross event – the sport gives our family so much enjoyment,” he enthused.
And that’s a sentiment shared by event founder Richard Wood. “Last year's event was incredible,” he confirms. “To see the array of legends descend on Farleigh was special. We're pleased to welcome Spencer and his family to the event, and it's great to see genuine, passionate business leaders support the World Vets and S Briggs Commercials continuing to support British motocross.”
