Sadly there’s no Jeffrey Herlings, Ben Watson, Adam Sterry or Evgeny Bobryshev at the Lyng round of the Revo British championship this year, but the field is still stacked with talent. However, a clash with the GP at Maggiora means some of the top men aren’t riding, namely Hitachi KTM’s red plate holder Isak Gifting and Jay Karssemakers in the MX2 class.

But Conrad Mewse is missing the Italian GP to race at Lyng, where he will face new competition in the form of Dylan Walsh. The Revo Kawasaki ace has decided to drop down from the MX1 class from now on to focus on the 250F – a bike he’ll race in some US Nationals very soon. Mewse is currently second in the title hunt, one point behind Gifting, after he was penalised for an aggressive take-out on his rival at the last round at Foxhill. Third in the series is Jamie Carpenter, who won the last round at Foxhill but badly gashed his arm last week at a race in Landrake.

The entry list, issued a couple of days ago, is not quite current as it includes Honda’s Jay Hague who is out through injury.

The MX1 class sees red plate holder Tommy Searle facing on-form Harri Kullas, Shaun Simpson and Josh Gilbert, but unfortunately not Ashton Dickinson who has quit for the year to recover from a concussion.

Local heroes Lewis Tombs and James Cottrell are entered to give the home fans some extra excitement.
