With the fantastic Hawkstone International only being less than a month a way the HIMX team have signed up some more top riders to put on a show at the brilliant Hawkstone Park Circuit, Shropshire on the 8
th February.
Some of the riders include ex British Champion Brad Anderson, Irish star Martin Barr, former youth British Champion Dan Thornhill and up and coming star Ben Watson.
Brad Anderson - MBO Yamaha - "I am riding for a new team this year and it will be great to start the season at one of the best tracks in the country. I know I have some friends who will be coming along to support me and I can't wait."
Martin Barr - KTM UK - "I am really looking forward to the Hawkstone International this year on my 350 KTM. I had a good weekend there last year so I'll be looking to go out and do the same again! It's always the best warm up race before all the Championships kick off and with a good line up of riders it will be cool to get 2015 kicked off!"
Dan Thornhill - Cab Screens Yamaha - "Hawkstone is always an unknown, it's a tough track and each year the competition is so high with all the GP riders getting some races in. I'm on a new bike and in a new class. It's early in the year this year and is going to be hard but I'm looking forward to the experience and having fun!"
Ben Watson - Hitachi Revo KTM UK - "I'm really looking forward to 2015 and especially the Hawkstone International. I think it's a great race as it isn't part of any Championship. I take it as a warm up race to get me used to being back on the start line for my busy 2015 season competing in the GPs and the British Championship. I won't be putting any pressure on myself for Hawkstone but of course I would love to get a good result there."
HIMX - "The 8
th of February is quickly approaching and we only have six places left in each class now. We have a great entry this year and we are very much looking forward to getting the action under way on the 8
th. We hope the long range weather will be kind to us and at the minute the track preparation is going really well."
The support race for 2015 will be the opening round of the British Quad Championship.
