For those that have not yet taken notice of him 14 year old motocrosser Hayden Statt of England has certainly raced himself into into international prominence in recent weeks. He emerged the clear victor during the second round of the EMX85 European Championship qualifier at Valkenswaard in the Netherlands, and with it moved into the championship lead.
Hayden has tasted the sweet joy of championship honours on home soil, but he is no stranger to international competition, either. He finished 18th in the 2023 85CC Junior World Championships, and with a year of growth and experience under his belt, looks set to improve upon this in 2024.
