No Simpson or Sterry in British championship

British MX2 champ Adam Sterry and triple MX1 champ Shaun Simpson are notable absentees from the official British championship start list for 2017 as both are now riding for foreign-based GP teams. Also missing from the 2016 series is Tanel Leok who now rides for the 8Biano Husky team in GPs.

That means MX1 champ Tommy Searle leads the MX1 class from Jake Nicholls, Graeme Irwin, Kristian Whatley – now without a ride after splitting with MVR-D Husky this week – Steven Lenoir, Gert Krestinov and Elliott Banks-Browne.

The MX2 class has a few surprises as Dixon Kawasaki’s two MX2 GP riders, American Darien Sanayei and Russian Vsevolod Brylyakov, are not entered. And Kiwi Josiah Natzke has joined the Hitachi KTM team. He formerly raced in the factory KTM junior team under Stefan Everts. Belgian Kevin Wouts will ride for Neil Prince’s Suzuki team and Aussie Jay Wilson – currently riding for the I-fly JK Yamaha team in UK Arenacross – stays to contest the British series. Martin Barr is also entered in the MX2 series after contesting MX1 last year for Honda, and he’ll face MVR-D Husky’s Harri Kullas.
