CAROL
NASH MCN MOTORCYCLE SHOW
LONDON, GREAT BRITAIN - 03 to 06 FEBRUARY 2011
Twelves
times FIM Trial World Champion Dougie Lampkin - Gas Gas will line
up against a host of motorcycle legends as he takes his place in
what is being billed as 'the greatest bike show on earth' and
which is aptly named 'revolution'. Lampkin who will be a leading
challenger in the 2011 SPEA FIM Trial World Championship and the
2011 FIM Indoor Enduro World Championship plus other selected
international events, wlil take time out from his hectic
competition schedule to be at Excel - London to be included in the
incredible live entertainment planned as part of the Carole Nash
MCN Motorcycle Show. This will take place from 3rd to 6th of
February inclusive.
In
just over two weeks time thirty-four year old Lampkin from
Yorkshire will pit his skill against fellow two wheel legends such
as Kevin Schwantz, Freddie Spencer, Randy Mamola, Franki Chili,
John McGuinness and Neil Hodgson. This star studded line up will
be part of 'revolution' which is the World's first motorcycle
performance that pits top-class riders against each other on
different machines across trials type obstacles. Think 70’s TV
Shows Superstars and Kickstart combined and you will get the idea.
Add to that floor and aerial stunt shows with The Fuel Girls for a
bit of glamour, the key 2011 bikes, manufacturers and hundreds of
retail stands and you have got a show not to be missed.
Whilst
primarily recognised for his trials achievements, Dougie has
diversified in more recent years and has now also established
himself as one of the World's leading extreme enduro riders
especially after winning last season's notoriously tough Hell's
Gate event in Italy. Lampkin's wealth of combined off road skills
should put him in good shape as he looks to uphold dirt bike
honours against his road race opponents. Although no World titles
will be at stake when Dougie clashes with the tarmac titans in
London, under no circumstances does that mean that the rivalry
will not be as fierce as ever as these guys are neither happy or
comfortable with losing.
Speaking
about taking part in 'revolution' Lampkin said. "It is always
great to have the opportunity to do something a bit different, so
I am really looking forward to getting to London in a couple of
weeks time and seeing what they have in store for us. Obviously I
am the only off road rider amongst the road boys so I am hoping
that they are not going to gang up on me and start bringing team
tactics into play."
"With
the exception of Freddie Spencer and Frankie Chili, I know the
other riders." Dougie explained. "I once met Kevin
Schwantz at a Trial Grand Prix in America, he seemed like a really
cool guy who had a genuine interest in our slow speed sport. I
have already seen Randy Mamola in action on a trials bike at an
event we did at the F1 GP in Valencia, so I know what to expect
from him."
"Both
McGunniess and Hodgson have got off road experience and like to
play around on dirt, so they could be dangerous, especially as
Neil never knows when he is beaten. Although you should never
focus on your rivals, I will be watching out for Neil, as although
we are good friends I know he will do anything to win."
In
his typical dry Yorkshire style Lampkin rounded off by stating.
"In my World there's no such thing as fun, as long as the
other guys realise i will be there to win, then we should all have
a great time!"
