As many regular readers of our blog/news section will know, we have sponsored local motocross rider- Mark Osborne- for a couple of years now. We were delighted to continue this sponsorship for the 2014 season and thought we'd give you a little update on his progress in the last few months.
Mark has always been fantastic at keeping us in the loop with events on the track and this year has been no exception. We were, however, disappointed for Mark when we heard his latest news back in early April.
Training was going very well for him but, while having a practice session in Cornwall, he had a crash on the last run resulting in a swift trip to A&E, scarring down his left side and fractured thumb.
Thankfully for Mark, three weeks and a great deal of strapping later and he's back on the bike. We hear he's put in 4 good 20minute sessions this first week, is planning a combination of rest, recuperation and gym training and is raring to go for the first Championship race on Sunday 11th May- feeling the fittest he has in many seasons.
Visitors for the Championship race are more than welcome and we're told the Littlehampton, Newton Abbott track is one of the best in the South West for viewing. Fingers crossed for a top 10 finish, we're right behind you Mark!
