After the Salop Club announced that former World Champion Jeffrey Herlings is to race at the Maxxis British Motocross round at Hawkstone Park, SY4 4NA on June 7^th the team are looking forward to another great event.

After three rounds of the Championship Shaun Simpson on the Hitachi Revo KTM UK team has a 40 point lead from Tanel Leok on the LPE Kawasaki, in third place is Gert Krestinov closely followed by Kristian Whatley and Brad Anderson. Hawkstone will mark the half way point in the series so there are still many points to be gained within the Championship for the title!

Shaun Simpson - "We have the British GP this weekend and then a couple of weeks later Hawkstone, I can't wait to get back to the track. We had a good weekend there at the International at the start of the year and it is nice to go there leading the Championship. The Salop Club always put on a good show and the track is always well prepared for us. There is normally a big crowd at the track and it's great to have some good support at the races."

Jeffrey Herlings will race his factory Red Bull KTM in the MX2 class and the top level riders will be hoping to challenge the former World Champion. It is Frenchman Steven Lenoir that is currently leading the MX2 Championship with the Dyer & Butler KTM team, he has a 16 point advantage from popular Brit Max Anstie. In third place is young talent Ben Watson, with Bryan Mackenzie and Adam Sterry hot on his heels.

Ben Watson - "With this year going like it is so far, I'm looking forward to racing at Hawkstone. I know I can do well around there so I'll go and do my best. It's a brilliant track and I would like to prove what I can really do, as this year I've not ridden to my full potential. I hope the club can attract a big crowd as it always makes for a good atmosphere there."
