Four of our riders are lined up for meetings in Europe with one very busy.

Sam Masters and Kevin Wolbert missed Friday night's action at Armadale as they were on their way to GP qualifiers. Kevin Wolbert is first in action in the GP qualifier in Riga. He needs to finish in the top 7 to qualify for the GP Challenge. He's will have his main opposition from Peter Kildemand, Kenneth Bjerre, Antonio Lindback and Linus Sundstrom although the other riders will also prove a test.

Next in action is Erik Riss who is racing in the European Under 21 Championship at Macon in France. Going by his performance on Friday night he shouldn't be troubled by any of the opposition with only Dimitri Berge and Adam Ellis known to British fans.

Over in Italy Sam Masters will be in the GP qualifier at Terenzano. Justin Sedgmen will also be at this meeting as second reserve so may get a race. It is a tough tough meeting. Pavlic, both Pawlickis, Harris, Lindgren, Fricke and Vaculik are just some of the names in this meeting. Sam will have to be at his very best to get in the top 7.

On Sunday at Muhldorf Erik Riss defends one of his World title as it is the World Long Track Team Championship. Erik is at reserve for the Germans.
