Courtney Duncan has done it ‰ÛÒ crossing the finish line of the Women‰Ûªs Motocross World Championship‰Ûªs first race, punching both firsts in the air, index fingers pointed skyward in the international symbol for number one.
After riding immaculately throughout the MXGP of Turkey‰Ûªs 20-minute, plus two laps race, the New Zealand sensation stamped her global dominance on the 10 other WMX riders, winning it by a whopping 12.818secs and earning herself an unassailable lead, with one race still to run.
An emotional Duncan entered the pit lane area on her Kawasaki KX250, where her British-based Kawasaki team Bike It Dixon Racing Team (DRT), friends and family were waiting to envelope her with hugs. She shouted out one word that summed up the three long, hard years she has been waiting for this moment.
‰ÛÏYeah!‰Û
