You will already have read in KR that Paul Whibley is riding Husqvarna.
To update that, Paul is an officially sponsored rider from three sources - the factory in Italy, the Australian distributor and the NZ distributor, Redline International, headed by Dallas Rankine,who has been around nearly as long as I have.
It is great that Paul is able to receive `a leg up` in the sport from Kiwi support, rather than being required to travel overseas to firstly gain recognition and then the necessary industry support.
Paul is racing around 6 or 7 events in OZ (the first this weekend).
Husky are still finalising the events that he will ride in and they are arranging a press officer for future events so that we will be kept fully informed on Whib`s progress.
Paul has competed in the following events this season :
3rd Feb \"Carian Cross Country Series\"
Round 2
WR360 1st place
17th February \"Pahiatua Club MX\"
WR360 1st place
23/24 February \"King of the Caves \"
CR250 1st place - cross country
CR250 2nd place (overall) & 2nd in class) - 250 MX
WR360 2nd,3rd & 5th (3 heats) - open MX
The 2nd place on the WR360 (remember this is an enduro bike) was to Cody Cooper on the CRF450!
3rd February \"New Zealand National Cross Country\" (3 hour race) - Round 1
CR250 1st in class & 1st overall
10th February \"Carian Cross Country Series\"
Round 3
CR250
