DL12 INDOOR PEACE COMPLETES THE PICTURE

Jack Peace has been confirmed as the eighth and final rider to complete the formidable lineup that will fight it out at the inaugural DL12 Indoor Trial at the Utilita Arena Sheffield on Saturday, the 7th of January, 2023. The 22-year-old from Scarborough more than deserves his place amongst the elite entry, having finished as runner-up in the ACU British Championship this season after achieving a similar feat at World level in the highly competitive FIM Trial2 World Championship class last year.

Speaking about the difficult process of selecting riders, Dougie Lampkin MBE explained: “Unfortunately, with only eight places up for grabs, it is not possible to include everyone who we would like to have done; it’s as simple as that. Each of the eight riders has been selected on merit and their performances this year, but when it came down to the final spot, it was so hard to split the young British trio of Jack Peace, Billy Green and Jack Dance, so we thought that the fans should decide. To be honest, we were overwhelmed by the number of votes for all three riders, though Jack Peace came out on top. The good news is that the other two guys will be on the bench and will be ready to jump in if needed, I am sure.”

Rounding off, Dougie said: “I am thrilled with the final lineup; we have the three current World champions, the current vice World Champion and World number three, the 2022 British champion, three Brits in total, plus some of the best young riders of the moment, it is going to be a great night I am sure about that.”
