Osborne Stakes Claim
23 April 2009 Back to News Home
In only his 8th GP Zach Osborne came away with the overall win at the 3rd round of the MX2 World Championship in Istanbul, Turkey. In doing so, Zach became the first American rider for almost nine years to win an overall round of the Motocross World Championship, the first of the so-called '4 stroke era'. As it was the first GP held in Turkey, Zach is also the first ever overall winner of an MX2 GP in Turkey.
Zach showed the right mix of speed, skill and fitness to land his UTAG Yamaha on the top step of the podium. All the sponsors and the team congratulate Zach on this achievement and look forward to more future success.
