Kenya finished second overall out of 6 countries in the just ended FIM Africa cross country championship held in Zambia.
Over and above the team’s trophy, Kenya racked up first overall place in the B2 class.
In the Individual results, Brian Cocker from Zimbabwe emerged the winner followed by the Kenya’s duo of Anthony Nielsen and Alan de Boer. Two other Kenyan riders Shaun Miller and Ross Field finished 8th and 13th respectively. Nielsen admitted the tour of Zambia was indeed a very tough event.
“It was truly a well organised but we all suffered due to the heat. Special thanks to Anne Troughton and Abigail Gustafson for looking after the Kenya team. Big thanks to our sponsors Cimbria East Africa,” said Nielsen.
He said the team was the strongest Kenya has ever fielded. “We now want to be recognised all over Africa for our exploits. We have proven beyond reasonable doubts that we can ride as well as perform,” said Nielsen, who rode a Husaberg 450cc.
