Local teen set for Dakar trial

The Lobelo Racing Club Francistown rider has been invited to join the Netherlands-based HT Rally Raid Husqvarna motorcycle team, as an observer for the spectacle that is to be held in Saudi Arabia from January 5 to 17, 2020.

Armstrong has had a good season on bike including a performance at this year’s 1000km Toyota Desert Race in Selebi-Phikwe where he finished the first round of the race in an overall second position before his race was stopped due to a mechanical problem.
