Ben Watson given a shot at FULL MX2 World Championship
By Team TMX on 18th Feb 16
Hitachi Husqvarna's Ben Watson will now ride the opening two world MX2 championship rounds in Qatar on Frbruary 27 and Thailand a week later after recieving last minute funding.
This also means Watson will get the chance to ride in two more long-haul races in Argentina and Mexico.
Roger Magee's Hitachi Husqvarna team pnly recently recieved their race bikes, and the team were not certian to race in the long haul rounds.
But following a fantastic result at Hawkstone where Watson took the holeshot on a stock bike and managed to take fourth overall in the MX2, his sponsor Contract Furniture has stepped in to give the young Brit a chance in the World MX2 Championship
Watson said: "I can't thank Contract Furniture Group enough for the opportunity they are giving me, I'll be heading to, Qatar, Thailand, Argentina and Mexico for the first rounds of the World Championship! It wouldn't have been possible without the support from them. THANK YOU!”
