The weekend’s schedule starts on Saturday from 9am, with Sunday’s action seeing the Pro Fastest 40 practice at 9am, ahead of the first Pro Race at midday.

The Pro MX1 class is led by the Honda UK riders Conrad Mewse and Josh Gilbert, with the reigning champion in his Yamaha UK, Harri Kullas, currently in third.

In the Pro MX2 class, a titanic battle is shaping up for the number one spot, as only six points separate five riders, with Jamie Wainwright leading the way going into the weekend.
