New Selected Riders for the 2011 British Championships

The selected riders for 2011 NZ DBG MX Team to race in the British Championships, Redbull Series and British Masters and if good enough some FIM rounds.

They are :-
MX2 … John Phillips
MX1 … Kieran Scheele
MX1 … Bjarne Frederickson

We had a large number of applicants ranging from NZ’s best champions to many of NZ’s up and coming junior 125 cc stars.

This team is about giving kiwis who may have never been given or been financially able to. The riders selected after a lot of hard work will, we hope, find form and impress the best in the business while here in the Europe.

Some applicants simply have had a shot and some we felt were a little young to tackle things over here. And some already had irrevocable contracts for 2011 or were tied to the NZ champs which unfortunately crosses over with the UK rounds starting in the coming year.

For 2012 we would ask the many young 125cc – 2 stroke riders that have applied to establish themselves on 250’s and stay in-touch. We would like to hear how you are going and from others with potential.

Anything can happen in the season through riders being further selected for “greater things”, through injury or personal reasons. We will therefore need to keep in-touch with all because who knows, you may be on a plane sooner than thought if a spot develops.

We hope those not selected are not disappointed and will show grit by being available for a ride as first reserve; and even more grit by re-applying for the 2012 year.
