Molson teamsters Stephen Sword and Tom Church battle it out at round five of the British Championship at Desertmartin in Northern Ireland. For the fifth round of the British motocross championship the Molson Kawasaki team headed across the Irish Sea to the Porter’s Pit circuit that’s located near the village of Desertmartin in the district of Magherafelt. Persistent rain on the day helped dampen spirits at the sandy venue that has hosted the Irish GP in the past.
Aged just 28 Molson Kawasaki’s Lisa Church is one of the youngest team managers in the sport of motocross and most definitely the only female to front a factory team. She’s expertly managed the Church family’s race team for three and a half years now and during that time has implemented changes that have seen the team grow from a Kawasaki supported outfit to a full on factory team for 2008. With the Molson team’s home GP approaching at Mallory Park this weekend we caught up with Lisa at Molson Kawasaki's European base in Belgium to find out more about this enigmatic character and the work she does.
Kawasaki enjoyed a successful afternoon at the biggest and most prestigious Motocross event of the year as Ryan Villopoto and Tim Ferry guided their KX250F and KX450Fs to help Team USA celebrate their eighteenth capture of the Chamberlain trophy in the 61st edition of the international Nations competition. Team GPKR’s Sebastien Pourcel was part of the French trio that gained second place. From the nine riders on the final podium, one third steered KX motorcycle technology.
