    From Daniel's Dad:

    This e-mail is to let you know that Daniel Mettam has been fortunate enough to be selected (along with appx 40 other kids from around the world) to a two day trial in 3 weeks time in Spain, for the Red Bull Rookies Cup Championship for 2011 - A few lucky Riders from this trial will be chosen to ride in Europe in 2011 in the Red Bull Rookies Cup (13-17 yr olds) as the curtain raiser to the (European rnds) of MotoGP events - We have only just received confirmation of this 3 days ago & accordingly are trying to raise sufficient funds over the next 9 days to help get him there...
