Michael Leon

The Royal Distributing MV Agusta F3 claimed its first victory at Grand Bend Motorplex when rider Michael Leon won the Expert 600 Extreme race during the 2^nd round of the SOAR regional series, June 16^th.

Development continued in the right direction for the team with a full day of dry practice on Friday, followed by another dry day during the Saturday heat races.

On Sunday, once again, Michael struggled to launch the 675 and had to make up ground after the charge into corner one.   After working his way through the field, Michael was promoted to 2^nd when Mitch Card retired with a shifter problem.  Honda mounted leader, Aubrey Bailey, had already pulled out a commanding lead.  Unfortunately for Aubrey, he crashed out of the lead with just a few laps to go, giving the win to the Royal Distributing team.  Read more…
