GREAT Britain’s Youth stars are set to benefit from top tuition at an exclusive Training Day at Leicester later this month.
Treble World Champion Jason Crump and former British Final runner-up Steve Worrall will both be on hand at the Paul Chapman & Sons Arena on February 22 with all riders signed up for the 2022 British Youth series eligible to take part.
GB Youth boss Neil Vatcher said: “Without the support of the series sponsors, it would not be possible to put on such an event.
