The MXGP Festival is the pinnacle of motocross in the United Kingdom and for the British fans, there is nothing better than witnessing one of their “own” take home their first ever international race victory.
British youngster Albie Wilkie turned out to be the crowd pleaser here in Matterley Basin, when he battled his way from a fourth place start to take victory here at round three of the EMX150 European Championship.
Amidst all the action a new champion was born; Italian Filippo Grigoletto rode clever beyond his years to be crowned the first ever EMX150 European Champion which has rewarded him with a place on highly established team Gariboldi Honda for 2014.
