Ben Townley, Pro Motocross Racer – Red Bull Troy Lee Designs Honda New Zealander Ben Townley was a 12 time National Champion, a 13 time GP Winner and a World Champion before moving to the states. His arrival on U.S. soil was much anticipated from motocross fans around the world to see how he would stack up. He was unfortunately sidelined with injuries for a couple years. He’s back racing and finished a strong 6-7 finish in the first round at Hangtown. This past weekend he raced the US GP at Glen Helen and showed amazing speed finishing first in the second moto making it look very easy for him. Many folks believe he is on the right track to being a regular front runner in the Outdoor series. www.bentownley.com
