 SAN BERNARDINO
(CA, USA), 30 May 2010 – With this Grand Prix of USA marking the event’s
comeback to the country after an 11 year absence, Zach Osborne of Bike It
Cosworth Yamaha UK was awarded with the special Marty Moates Cup. Taking
second in the MX2 class and going four-two in the heats, Osborne was the
best placed American in the overall classification of both the MX1 and MX2
classes as the trophy pays tribute to Moates, the first American to win a
USA Grand Prix back in 1980.
The Marty Moates Cup is a special trophy –coming
together with a 5000 dollars cheque- reserved to American riders, all looking
at Moates as one of their models when it comes to racing because Moates was
the first American to win a home GP at Carlsbad in 1980. Six years later,
again at Carlsbad, Ricky Johnson became the last American to win a home
Grand Prix.
The latter was directly involved in the Marty Moates Cup project alongside
Glen Helen Raceway and its President Bud Feldkamp, former GP winner Brad
Lackey, Veteran rider Dough Dubach, “MX Files” Producer Todd Hoffman,
Resmarket President Scott Cox.
Here below is Osborne’s profile.
