YOUNG Pershore motocross rider Matt Tolley is revving up for his second international race this weekend.

The 10-year-old competes in the prestigious annual MX Masterkids event in Verdun, north-east France, from tomorrow until Sunday.

The competition attracts leading prospects from 24 nations, including the USA, with a total of 750 entrants.

Tolley, who started riding at the age of six, is in his second year in the junior 65cc class and has had notable success during 2015 in the United Kingdom.

He races for Midlands club Warley Wasps MX and has won 20 out of 22 contests this year in his bid for a second club championship.

Tolley also competes in the British Schoolboy Motorcycle Association National Series and is placed third after three rounds.
