The Fast Eddy organisation is pleased to announce that newly crowned 250cc two-stroke World Enduro Champion Stefan Merriman will be competing in the Pro & Expert Arena Enduro on Saturday October 4 and will be in attendance during the three days of the Off Road UK '03 show at Donington Park.
Competing along side WEC regular and newly signed UFO Corse Yamaha rider Bartosz Oblucki and Britain's top enduro riders David Knight and Paul Edmondson, Stefan appearance will be his first as reigning 250cc World Enduro Champion out side of Italy. And with the top 10 finishers from this season's UK cross-country championship also invited to compete, the stage is set for a great days action in and around the Arena Enduro area.
On Friday, Fast Eddy organisation's Paul Edmondson will be announcing the rider line-up for his newly formed World Championship enduro team. With Paul and his yet unnamed team-mate both available to answer questions about the UK's first truly international WEC team, there will also be a full day of activities on the staged area inside the main exhibition area as well as Supermoto demonstrations from Ady Smith and Warren Steele.
As well as the Clubman Arena Enduro, Supermoto demonstrations and product and machinery displays in the main show hall, Off Road UK '03 will have a live Satellite link to the Motocross des Nations on Sunday October 5.
Paul Edmondson: "Having a rider of Stefan's calibre compete in the Arena Enduro, and agree to attend the show on all three days, is another great reason to visit Off Road UK '03. The fact that he has also agreed to present the trophies at the UK cross-country championship end of series presentation on Saturday night is just great. Things are really taking shape now with the exhibition hall full, the Arena Enduro course all but finished and Ady and Warren rearing to go. It's going to be a great three days."
