The Apico 2-Stroke Festival has had a massive shot in the arm as it’s been revealed one lucky 85cc rider will win a sponsorship package worth £5000 for 2019 from the title sponsor.

Due to the high level of interest and the fast young talented riders in the opening round of the Festival at Ironworks recently, Apico Factory Racing has stepped up to offer one 85 rider the dream deal of being an Apico sponsored rider with a deal worth £5000 for the 2019 season.

Apico’s Dylan Brown is the man behind the amazing and unique prize and said: “There are so many talented riders in the 85 class, and believe in helping nurture the talent of tomorrow – like we have in the past and currently with Team Green, Jack Lindsay and Alexander Brown.

“It is good to see such talented riders we’ve helped coming through to the pro ranks and doing well with the support our company is able to offer them. I’d like to think that there’s a young rider tout there now that deserves help and who could be a top-level rider in a few years time. We at Apico Factory Racing would all be proud to have helped someone achieve their dream of riding as a professional rider. I would hope that they can deliver back on the sponsorship and develop a working relationship together with Apico Factory Racing for the future.”

The details have yet to be sorted but will be announced shortly by Apico 2-Stroke Festival organiser Dave Willet. Round two of the series is at Sellindge in Kent on August 4-5 and caters for all two-strokes, from youths on 85s up to modern classes plus Evo, Super Evo and twin-shock. There is more than £2000 prize money up for grabs in the 125cc and over classes, plus lots of goodie bags and spot prizes. Entries are still available in all classes from HERE.
