FOLLOWING on from last week's look at the top Ladies in trials, we now move on to the hot property department, the girls in both Youth classes. Make no mistake, this bevy of beauties mean serious business.
EMMA Bristow, a 16 year-old from Lincolnshire, has stormed Class A this year, winning seven out of eight championship rounds. Unflappable when she blitzed Class B a year ago, the Grammar School pupil is studying for GCSE's next year and will ride JST Gas Gas UK team, and the ACU Academy.
Says Emma, ''I competed in all eight rounds of the championship and think my best ride was the Isle of Wight event. I was very pleased when my club, Lincoln MC & CC were given the opportunity to host one of the rounds. I am also grateful to my other local club, Banovallum MCC for their support. I did feel that the standard of riding in the Championships improved in all classes this year. It was my first time in the Ladies European and World rounds so to finish ninth and 13th respectively was good. I did gain loads of experience, and was well pleased with my results considering it was my first time abroad. I also rode in a mixed International team in the TdN in France. The 125 Gas Gas suits my style. I have another year in Class A and will be riding in Euro and World rounds '' providing they do not clash with exams.
