Impressive international line-up for 2016 European Junior Cup
The provisional permanent entry list for the 2016 WIL Sport European Junior Cup, powered by Honda, was published this week with no fewer than 30 riders coming together from 15 nations across five continents to fight for junior racing’s most coveted prize.
Although the entry list features 24 male riders for the 2016 season, six female racers will compete alongside them in the second running of the FIM Europe Women’s European Cup class, with ages ranging from 14 to 21 years for the male riders and 16-24 years for women.
This season’s European Junior Cup sees the introduction of New Zealand based ‘WIL Sport’ as full title partner with the continued support of Honda Motor Europe, Motul and Pirelli.
It is the second season of EJC competition featuring identically-prepared Honda CBR650F supersport machines and this year’s championship promises another action-packed and close-fought season of racing competition.
