It was great news for Isle of Wight youth trials riders Chris Stay & George Gosden this week, they both received conformation from the Auto Cycle Union on Tuesday that they have been selected as two of only five riders in the country who can ride in the youth support class of the main adult British trials championship. They had to send in applications to ride in this class based on past performances and results and as they were the youngest riders who had applied there was some doubt that they would be allowed to ride. But they have both been given permission to ride in this prestigious eight round championship which starts in Scarborough on March 6th, and will see them competing alongside the very best factory supported riders in the country. The weekend before they will take part in the first round of the British youth championships in Derbyshire so it’s going to be an extremely busy year for these talented Island riders.
