YOUNG STARS racer Jake Mulford has been crowned FIM Long Track U23 World Cup champion for the second time in his career.
Mulford, who previously took the title in 2024, swept to victory at Dutch venue Roden in a meeting which saw two British riders on the podium.
He raced to wins in four of his five qualifying races, missing out only when he was excluded for exceeding the time allowance in his fourth ride.
That meant French racer Tino Bouin collected two more points in the qualifiers, but Mulford superbly took the honours ahead of Bouin in the Final with Max Perry, who rode for Lynn in the NDT last season, finishing third.
Meanwhile Ashton Boughen – who rode for King’s Lynn in the Premiership last year before stepping away from the sport – was a sensational winner on his FIM Flat Track World Championship debut at the same venue.
