- 20th March
Former 125 and MX1 World Champion Steve Ramon is just another top star to add his name to the list of top riders for this year's Hawkstone International on the 20th March. Ramon recently completed and won the extremely tough Le Touquet race. He will be joined by his Rockstar Energy Team-mate Clement Desalle, the 2010 MX1 World Championship runner up who gained three GP wins last year.
Adding to that in the MX2 class will be the MX2 Suzuki World Championship Team consisting of Valentin Teillet, Teillet being the former 2008 European MX2 Champion, he has ridden at Hawkstone twice before and is extremely looking forward to returning to one of his favourite tracks. His Suzuki team-mate Marcus Schiffer will also be competing on the day.
Ben Townley unfortunately will not be able to race at Hawkstone after a bad accident has left him injured and unable to ride.
A whole host of Brits will be pushing for final honours including Stephen Sword, Tom Church, Shaun Simpson, Brad Anderson, Graeme Irwin, Elliott Banks-Browne, Steven Clarke, Jake Nicholls and Tommy Searle plus many more. All will be riding in the hope to stand on the podium and start their 2011 season in good form.
