Harrogate teenager Greg Marshall is set to compete in the British Junior Supersport Championships at Silverstone today.
The event is a national motorcycling race and will see entrants from all over the UK compete.
Fifteen year old, Greg, began motorcycle racing aged 9 and has progressed through the classes of Mini Motos and MiniGP bikes — he now rides a Kawasaki Ninja 400.
The Harrogate Grammar School pupil only began riding full-sized bikes in 2022, when he raced with Bemsee – the oldest motorcycle racing club in the word – and found his bike on pole position twice in one weekend.
Greg at Brands Hatch earlier in the year.
Greg said:
“I’m very excited to begin my first season with BSB in the Junior Supersport class.
“I’m feeling comfortable with my new bike and I can’t wait to see what this season brings for me”.
Greg has several sponsors supporting his 2023 season, including Knaresborough’s Redline Specialist Cars.
His father Paul said they are “always open to hearing from local businesses” that would wish to support him and have their names on his bike.
Mr Marshall said his son is making excellent progress:
“I’m very proud to see Greg taking the next step in his racing career and am looking forward to supporting him in his 2023 season with British Superbikes.”
The Silverstone race will be televised on Eurosport, with some rounds free to air on Quest TV.
