Youthstream has confirmed the date of the 2018 FIM Junior Motocross Championship, which is set to take place at Horsham in Victoria on 26 August.

The popular Australian venue was announced as the location for the prestigious junior event back in mid 2015, while it most recently hosted the Australia Junior Motocross Championship, which spanned over a week earlier this month.

Horsham has been a mainstay on the Motul MX Nationals calendar for a number of years now, proving its worth as a world class circuit.

Countries from around the world will select their best young up-and-coming riders to compete in individual classes and team events, which will be determined in the lead-up to the August affair.

Australia has had three world champions in the junior motocross ranks, including Jay Wilson (85cc) in 2009, Caleb Grothues (65cc) in 2012 and Jett Lawrence (65cc) in 2014.
