The opportunity of a lifetime has been won by young Tasmanian rider Hugh McKay at the third round of the 2014 Monster Energy MX Nationals held in Wonthaggi, Victoria.
Riding in the Honda CRF150 Cup, McKay won both his races in convincing fashion to take outright honours in the class and win an all-expenses paid trip to compete in Europe.
The prize, provided by Honda Motorcycles Australia, includes all travel, accommodation, equipment and entry into the second round of the Honda 150 European Championship to be run at Matterley Basin in England on 25 May.
Speaking after the presentation, McKay could not contain his excitement at getting the opportunity to race abroad.
