The inaugural Monster Masters Midweek Race Series begins today (Wednesday, 25th June) in South Wales at the epic Monster Mountain MX venue near Merthyr Tydfil.
All eyes will be on the Bullet Jeffrey Herlings, who has been confirmed for the full three-round series, where he will resume his battle from last year’s British Motocross Championship with Crendon Tru7 Honda’s Conrad Mewse.
Also certainly in the mix will be the Dirt Store Triumph Racing duo of Tommy Searle and Joel Rizzi, but they will also have DRT Kawasaki’s Taylor Hammal, Crendon Tru7 Honda’s Jamie Carpenter, holeshot king Chris Mills, Scottish star John Adamson on the Lexa Racing machine and young gun Ben Mustoe on the ASA United GasGas. Others to watch out for will be the SC Sporthomes Husqvarna of Charlie Putnam, local legend Glen Phillips, recent AMCA British Champs round winner Jayden Ashwell and Rhys Barker.
Practice and qualifying take place during the daytime behind closed doors, with spectators allowed on site from 4 pm, with the first race scheduled for 5:30 pm.
Alongside the Pro classes are the Youth 65, 85cc and 125/250 classes as well as Ladies, Steady, Clubman and Vets.
