In just his second ever race on this type of bike, Forbes youngster Sam Drane has pulled off a remarkable second place in the last round of the ASBK – Australian Superbikes.
Drane, who received a wild card entry, was in second when the race was halted with a lap to go and the young rider couldn’t hide his excitement in an online interview trackside.
“Mum and dad said I could ride the bike and I did and I came second,” Sam said. “It was great!”
Drane, is also an official team member next year of the Oceania Junior Cup and with form like this, will no doubt feature
prominently and has a big future in the sport.
