FIM Asian Motocross Championship:

Jacques wins third place

Thirteen year old rider Jacques Gunawardena won the third place in fourth round of 2012 FIM Asian Motocross Championship Series at the Speedworld MX Circuit held at Manila, Phillipines. This was his first competition outside Sri Lanka and he was a potential threat to Number one and two champion leaders. With this achievement, Jacques became the first Sri Lankan to get a podium finish in an Asian Motorcross Championship.

“I would like to thank my sponsors MAS Active, Edge Energy, Power World, Red Doors (Pvt) Ltd., the Federation of Motor Cycles, Ragunathan and Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage for their huge support and Lyceum International School, Nugegoda for backing me up. Also I would like to thank Colonel Ekanayake for giving the opportunity to practice at the Army track.
