Some of the UK's leading motorcycle sports stars are set to do battle as the 24-rider line-up was announced last night for the first ever Moto1 challenge at Donington Park on October 30-31.

The 24 champions of motorcycle sport will compete in two legs of four disciplines; trials, motocross, supermoto and road racing, all to discover Britain's best.

Of the nine road race aces lining up it is British Supersport champion and former youth motocross sensation Karl Harris who is confident of taking victory and the ?6000 first prize.

Harris faces road race opposition from fellow Supersport stars Stuart Easton, Michael Laverty, Craig Jones, Cal Crutchlow and Tom Sykes and from Superbike riders Kieran Clarke, Jon Kirkham and Dean Ellison.

Former European Stunt Riding Champion Craig Jones joins the action along with World stars from trials Graham Jarvis and Sam Connor.

The tough guys of motocross vying for the Moto1 title include Scotsmen David Campbell, Billy Mackenzie and Vic Allan M.B.E. while England is represented by brothers Danny and Jody Smyth.

An accomplished list of enduro riders is led by World Championship runner-up David Knight from the Isle of Man, joined by his brother and 2002 British Champion Juan. Twice British four-stroke enduro champion Wayne Braybrook and twice 125cc British champion Edward Jones may well offer the surprise package.

Motorcycling's newest sport, Supermoto, fields Moto1's only female rider Anita Doran, all-rounder Ady Smith and new British Champion David Tougher. A complete list of the Moto1 line-up is below.

"We're very excited by the talented and experienced entry we have for the first Moto1," said event Managing Director Robbie Allan. "With little more than a week to go the riders are all finalising their preparations for the four sports -it's very difficult to predict who will win."
