Young Armstrong wins US motocross event

Lobelo Racing Club Francistown (LRCF) rider, Brady Armstrong, walked into the Francistown home he shares with his parents on Tuesday this week, hoisting his first motocross trophy that he won whilst racing off the African continent.

The 10-year-old Racing-Honda Gaborone sponsored rider, travelled to Sacramento, California, during his school holidays, to train and race in the US. Armstrong spent a week training with his new Pro-coach, Jerrad Fisher, owner of MMX Racing in Marysville, California. A Clifton Primary School Grade Five pupil, Armstrong was invited to America by a couple, the Bentley-Martells, who visited Botswana last year.
