Cash crisis leaves Moto3 champ Joe without a ride

One of Britain’s most talented young motorcycle racers is facing 2014 without a ride. Current Motostar BSB Moto3 Champion, Joe Francis, needs a sponsor to help him progress to the next stage of his professional racing career on the world stage.

Chester-based Francis won the prestigious 2013 Pinhard Trophy – an annual award recognising the year’s outstanding young motorcycle racer, previously awarded to racing legends John Surtees and Mike Hailwood.

The just-turned-16-year-old, who has been racing for six years, has won every race series that he has entered.

Despite having no family background in motorcycles or racing, Joe, who works part-time at Demon Tweeks, is clearly talented and has a passion for the sport.

If you can help, call Rebecca Brocklesby or Roger Burnett on 01652 680060.
