Josiah Natzke gave his heart and soul in today’s Final Race of the European Motocross Championship at Assen, Netherlands.
In what has been an outstanding debut season, Josiah racing under KTM Factory Junior Team has accomplished more than any other NZ MX rider in the past 10 years.
Bittersweet emotions ran deep after finishing behind Team-mate Jorge Prado confirming that Josiah’s desire to stand on top of the podium is going to stay strong through-out his career.
Josiah says: ‘Today wasn’t what I wanted but this year has been all about learning and I take each learning experience as something positive which will make me stronger for my future’.
‘There have been highs when I went 1-1 in France and there have been lows like today. Each makes me want to be mentally stronger heading into next year’s season’.
A proud moment finishing 8 Rounds competing against Europe’s top Motocross 125cc riders, Josiah can hold his silver medal as a mark of his accomplishment this year and for many more to come.
