Zimbabwe: Daiyaan Manuel Rocks SA

16 October 2017

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.
