Round 3 250/500cc classes Scunthorpe
The third round of the British Youth Championship 500cc and 250cc series takes place at Scunthorpe Speedway this coming Sunday afternoon (27th June), following the Scorpions Championship clash with Edinburgh.
With Ben Trigger (500cc) and Luke Harrison (250cc) having already won the first two rounds at Belle Vue and Redcar, the other competing riders will need to keep Ben and Luke within reach, ahead of a 6-week break of this competition, if they are going to have a serious challenge of winning a British Championship in 2021.
With Trigger already having an impressive 11-point advantage over his competitors, it will be up to one of the others to be taking the top rostrum place this weekend.
Unfortunately, Sam McGurk is still recovering from his leg injury so this round has come too early for him, but after Scunthorpe with a 6 week break hopefully, he will be back for round 4 in August.
Harrison leads the 250cc class by 8 points so if he wins this round will be well on the way to claiming back-to-back British 250cc titles.
