Double podium for Team GB at 2021 Coupe De L’avenir – Rundown and Results

While the senior Team GB riders were nailing a podium position in Italy at the Motocross of Nations, the Team GB youth team were also grabbing their own slide of podium pie at the Coupe De L’avenir in Belgium which is essentially the youth version of the MXON.

The 65 racers did a fantastic job and show things bode well for the future of our sport in the UK by finishing third over the weekend. Congrats to Robbie Daly, Alfie Geddes-Green and Olly Waters.

Although things didn’t go to plan for the 85’s team of Ryan Waggott, Charlie Richmond and Will Haddock, they never gave up finished 10th overall.

The Open class team of Tom Grimshaw, Sam Nunn and James Barker, put in a superb performance and secure a might fine second overall, just two points behind the winners.

At the end of the event Team GB finished fifth overall across the three different classes.

Team Manager Dave Garland said “2 podiums from 3……..I’d have taken that all day long!!

“3rd place for the 65s If I’m honest was the least they deserved, as they had the speed and skills to win so a podium was well deserved.

“The 85s were not a million miles off the pace of the top 10 but a bad qualification meant gating was difficult and mistakes were made whilst pushing hard but I can’t fault the commitment.

“The open class well and truly deserved a podium. We made a tactical decision to put Tom on gate pick 1 which made Sam and James’s job a lot harder but all 3 left everything on the track and I couldn’t have been happier with them.

“We are already making plans for 2022, the 50th anniversary of the event where we will be looking to podium all classes.”
