BRIT SHOCK
2000 UEM EUROPEAN YOUTH CUP
The French European round would also incorporate the UEM European Youth Cup for both 125cc and 250cc machines, to be held the day before on the 22nd July. This would be a single event to determine who won the titles, and restricted to riders under 16 years of age who would compete over three laps of 10 hazards in the two classes.
125CC: ENTRY: 11 RIDERS
This trial would be about two riders: Andrea Fistolera and Great Britain’s Michael Brown. Very evenly matched, it was only a small mistake in the closing stages that cost the ‘Mighty Atom’ Brown the victory. Small in stature but huge on talent, he gave his all to take the second step on the podium.
RESULTS: 1: Andrea Fistolera (Beta-ITA) 79; 2: Michael Brown (Beta-GBR) 80; 3: Niclas Liebl (Sherco-GER) 92; 4: Vivien Chalopin (Gas GasFRA) 93; 5: Julien Adamski (Gas Gas-FRA) 97; 6: Sergio Mayol (Gas Gas-ESP) 100; 7: Julien Payen (Gas Gas-FRA) 106; 8: Robin Gilman (Sherco-BEL) 107; 9: Sylvain Vialle (Gas Gas-FRA) 118; 10: Javier Cordero (Gas Gas-ESP) 132.
