Just ten points separate top three crews heading to Czechia
Former Island resident Harry Payne and TT competitor Kevin Rousseau return to FIM Sidecar World Championship action this weekend.
Seven weeks since the second round of this year's competition, the Steinhausen Racing duo head to Most in Czechia for the third stage of the championship taking place from today until Sunday (21-23 June).

Sam and Tom Christie then sit a further ten points back in the tables so far on 65.
Payne & Rousseau also heads into this weekend with an updated exhaust system and and refined cooling system in an attempt to gain a further edge at the front of the field.

This will be followed by a ten-lap sprint race tomorrow (22 June) before the 17-lap main race on Sunday (23 June).
