Britain put their hopes for the future in fourteen year-old schoolboy
Fourteen year-old Welsh Schoolboy Chaz Davies will compete in this year's 125cc World Motorcycle Grand Prix Championships. Davies, who celebrates his 15th birthday next month, will be pitted against the best riders in the world in the 16-round world title chase that starts at Suzuka, Japan in April.
Davies, who will ride an Aprilia machine for the Italian Matteoni racing team, has been granted special permission by his school to miss lessons to compete in motorcycle racing's premier World Championship that visits four separate continents between April and November.
'I've seen the World Championship riders on television and they are very fast but they also ride very competitive bikes,' explained the 14-year-old, who last season gained valuable experience in both the British and Spanish Championships. 'I've been to the Aprilia factory in Italy to see the new bike, which was great. Most of the tracks will be new to me, including the first one at Suzuka in Japan but at least I know which way to go, because it's on my Playstation.'
Davies will be accompanied to the Grands Prix by his father Pete and mother Sam. He went with his Mum for a meeting at his school last week. They gave the young sportsman great encouragement to take on the best in the world.
'School have been really good and they were so pleased that I'm going World Championship racing,' revealed the former British Mini Moto Champion. 'I've bought a mini-disc and I hope to do some school work on the long flights but there will be no time once I'm at the races. I'm not really nervous and I'm so looking forward to riding a competitive bike. My friends are really pleased for me and they will all be coming to the British Grand Prix at Donington Park in July.'
