Juice Lubes National Champs visit Ae Forest this year and kick off this weekend, the 17th & 18th July 2010.

Can Gee Atherton defend his National title? Womens National Champ Tracy Moseley isn’t on the start sheet (National Jersey issue maybe?) and won’t be racing. Rachel Atherton is still recovering from the shoulder slam this means a new women’s British Champion is guaranteed – Helen Gaskell last had the title in 2003, but two young riders Katy Curd and Jess Stone will have their eyes on the win. There will be no Manon Carpenter however; she’s focusing on the Junior World Cup Series and elects to sit the weekend out.

If you’re going along to watch or racing yourself then all the info you need to know is on the Borderline Events website.
