Motorsport�s newest friendly rivalry

With this year’s Khawa Sand Dunes and Cultural Festival preparations at an advanced stage, Chibana and Mamaloukos are both aiming for pole positions.  Speaking to Mmegi Sport on Wednesday, Mamaloukos now 14, described Chibana as his best friend but was quick to mention that on the race course, their friendship completely changes.

“He is a good rider, I must say, but he is yet to match me especially on rough and sandy curves. I think he has a bright future and so do I but I am keen to continue racing against him, not to podium limelight but to guide him to reach his goal as well. That’s what friends are for,” Mamaloukos said.
