Ryan Hunt, a former South African champion motocrosser, still enjoys the demands of competitive racing.
Riding an identical Yamaha YZ250 to the one he rode a century ago at this Veteran Motocross des Nations, Ryan Hunt impressed competitors and spectators alike.
“Riders and fans came to the UK from every corner of the world and pitched camp, already on the Thursday, even though a bike is not ridden in anger until 09:00 on Saturday. So the buzz around the VMXdN is huge. My weekend got off to a good start with sixth in qualifying and two excellent fourth and fifth place finishes in Saturday’s races.
“Riding old bikes is always a challenge and my weekend also wasn’t immune from that! Every time you check something over, it needs an extra bit of work. Nick Pritchett, however, provided a strong motor in his 2000 Tork Craft Yamaha YZ250 and it was incredible to race against the likes of Chicco Chiodi, Joakim Karlson, Brian Wheeler, Keith Johnson, Gary Hoptrough, and the rest.
