Motorcycling Australia has unveiled the team that has been selected to represent Australia at the 2010 Junior Motocross World Championship.

The event will be held at Gueugnon, France, from 20-21 August, with Paul Broomfield lining up as team manager.

Given the costs involved in sending the team to Europe, MA has only been able to select two riders in each class and is hopeful they will get the most out of competing on the world stage when they pull on the green and gold in August.

Making their debut at the 2009 Junior Motocross World Championship in New Zealand, the Australian team exceeded expectations, taking out the Teams Title along with scoring Australia’s first ever World Motocross Championship thanks to the efforts of Jay Wilson.

Tasmanian Matthew Phillips and Errol Willis will make up the 125cc team with Dylan Long as reserve, Queenslanders Joel Dinsdale and Scott Mann will be the 85cc riders as Jesse Dobson is the reserve, while the 65cc class will feature Mitchell Evans and Wilson Todd, with Hunter Lawrence the final reserve.

Go get ’em, boys!
