After a long pause to proceedings obliged by the Covid-19 pandemic, the time is finally nigh for the inaugural Northern Talent Cup to take to the track. Over the two days, 12 sessions of 30 minutes each will make sure to field have more than enough time to get ready to race, with track action beginning bright and early each morning at 8:00 (GMT +2). The focus will be on rider and machine too, as Oschersleben isn’t a venue the NTC will return to for a race weekend. The test is about more than just track time, however – it’s also chance for riders and teams to work together in the paddock environment for the first time, and for the whole NTC paddock to start to get to know each other.
