EVESHAM can boast a new European champion.
Meggie Talbot, 13, returned from the finals at Northampton's Santa Pod Raceway as runner-up to be crowned the first FIM-E European champion in junior drag bike.
Four rounds of the championship saw the Prince Henry's High School pupil travel to Hungary and Hockenheim, Germany, with her team as well as two at Santa Pod.
Talbot is a member of Shark Attack Drag Racing who are headed up by her stepfather Rene van den Berg and mother and crew chief Kerryanne.
The Vale racer will now fight for the UK Championship at the national finals at Santa Pod in one week from her current placing of second.
Also joining her will be team-mates and family, Rene van den Berg in the top fuel category and older sister Bobby Frazier in the pro stock bike.
