Britain’s sole factory MXGP rider Ben Watson is to bring his YZ450FM to the Revo British championship for a wildcard ride at the next round at Lyng on May 23.

“Time to take this beast racing. I’ll be back in the British championship at Lyng! Hope to see some of you there,” said the former British MX2 champ.

It’s believed other factory MXGP racers are also lining up a ride at the sandy circuit because the GP season kicks off in Russia on June 13 so many have not raced this year.
