TOWNLEY & HSU BACK FOR SUZUKI AT BRITISH MXGP

Filed under: News |

Round 11 of 18 in the 2016 FIM Motocross World Championship sees the Team Suzuki World MXGP and MX2 squads welcoming both Ben Townley and Brian Hsu back into the fold respectively on the works RM-Z450 and RM-Z250 machinery.

Matterley Basin is once again the homing beacon for all native MX and off-road racing fans this weekend with the vast site near Winchester ready to stage the Fullback British Grand Prix for the sixth year in a row.

For Hsu, Matterley represents a long overdue return to the MX2 class. The 18-year-old multi-European and World Champion in junior categories made his debut on the GP stage last season but has had to be patient to begin his first full campaign in the class after needing a substantial period to recover from a broken wrist sustained in the winter. The youngster is finally fit enough to consider rolling into the British start gate and to tackle the wide, quick and flowing English layout.

“This will be my first GP and I’ve only entered two other races and not at full distance yet. So I am not going to Britain with any expectations at all,” he said. “I just want to get out there and see what I can do. Practicing I feel good and we planned to come back earlier but this is the way it has worked out. I am ready, we are ready and I’m excited to be back in MX2.”
