23.06.08 Youngy's Back for Mallory

In a boost for both Paul Young and Map Embassy Racing, the Australian rider has made a full recovery from the ankle injury he sustained in a fall at Snetterton and will ride at his home round at Mallory Park this weekend.

The veteran rider said “I have taken it easy since Snetterton and although I haven’t ridden as yet I have done some light cycling and felt no pain so on that basis I will be going to Mallory with the intention of competing in the race on Sunday. Bar the crash at Snetterton it was a good weekend for me, I was right up there in free practice and in qualifying so I hope I can do the same this weekend at Mallory.”

It is however disappointing news for AJ Venter who was in line to replace Paul in the Supersport round. The young rider will be sitting out the Mallory meet altogether as there is no Superstock 600 round scheduled, but he will be travelling with the team to offer his support.

“I’m pleased that Paul is fit and able to race but I have to say I am a little disappointed from a personal point of view. I was looking forward to showing people what I could do on Supersport machine as that is the level I want to be racing at soon. I will be going to Mallory to support the team but it will be frustrating for me not having a ride all weekend.”
