HE is simply the best. Young Daiyaan "Dee" Manuel of Zimbabwe reasserted himself as the best junior motocross rider in the southern African region when he clinched the 65cc A Class title at the end of the 2017 South African National Championship series at Terra Topia just outside Johannesburg on Saturday. Manuel, a 12-year-old Grade Seven pupil at St John's Preparatory School in Harare, buried himself in glory when he swept the board on Saturday, winning both his heats in the 65cc A Class during the seventh and final round of the tough South African National Championship series.
The talented young Zimbabwean rider went into Saturday's race leading in the 65cc A Class charts with 267 points, 10 ahead of his nearest rival Tyler Tarantino of South Africa and a first or second-place finish could have guaranteed him the overall title for the 2017 season. And Manuel was in an uncompromising mood on Saturday as he dominated a strong field of 24 riders in both heats to collect the maximum 50 points which were good enough to see him being crowned the 2017 65cc A Class Champion.
