Tweedside's George Fletcher is the 2020 Juvenile Jaunt Champion. He dropped his only point in heat 14 to second placed Carl Price from Aberavon. Price had earlier finished behind Cain Smith and Paul Erskine in heat 6 so finished 1 point behind Fletcher. Fletcher and Price were relatively untroubled in their other 4 rides both gating superbly. Rounding out the top 3 was Richmond junior Adam Hunter. His consistency seeing him score 12 points. These three riders will all be moving up into the EL next season along with 4th placed Alex Kelly of Aldershot. Kelly has quickly shown a lot of promise and I'm sure will take the step up in his stride. The top 2 averaged riders throughout the season Cain Smith of Denham and David Appleton from Bottesford had meetings to forget. Smith started well but then hit mechanical issues which blunted his scoring. Appleton couldn't find his usual form apart from one heat win and ended up falling in his last ride. Both are EL bound and with the potential they have will soon get their mojo's back.

 

So congratulations to George Fletcher in what could well be the last Juvenile Jaunt championship......watch this space.
