Metrakit Canada (~http://www.metrakit.ca/~) and the AMRA (~http://www.amra.ca/~) based in Calgary, Alberta will have two talented teens heading off to Valencia, Spain this December to compete in the IV Metrakit World Festival with over 100 other Metrakit riders. Tanner Thiessen aged 14 and Cody Matechuk aged 11 are representing Canada at this years event. This year riders aged 7 – 12 will compete on the 72SP machine and those 13 years old and up will race the PreGP 125, the same motorcycle used in the Red Bull Rookies Cup run offs. In 2005 Tanner competed at III WF and finished 12th. This year Tanner will be competing for the first time in the Metrakit Pre GP 125 class while Cody will be competing on the Metrakit Mini GP 72 SP. The Metrakit World Festival is open to Metrakit riders from around the world aged 7 and up and is designed to duplicate all the aspects and thrills of a MotoGP event and provide the kids (and parents) with an experience they will never forget. Past podium winners have gone on to join the MotoGP Academy, been awarded sponsored CEV Cup rides, have competed in the Red Bull Series or been awarded sponsored U.S. rides. It is the one event that talented teens who wish to get noticed need to attend. Remember, with Metrakit it’s not just about the bikes.
