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.
