Thirty-year-old Tim Neave, a former British champion and current sixth-place finisher in the championship, will be joined by 18-year-old Ashton Boughen, a talented up-and-coming rider who previously raced Motocross for Yamaha Europe. The championship will visit eight countries and two continents, starting in the Netherlands on May 9 and concluding with two rounds in Argentina—the first-ever dates outside of Europe—on October 24-25.
