Racing career ---- Neo’s parents noticed his interest and early fascination of motorbikes and bought him his first little motorbike when he was 5 years old (2014). Two years later, even though Neo had a few nasty falls on the track, he needed a racing bike and they bought him a KTM 50SX. Neo raced with Coventry Junior Motorcycle Club one of the few clubs to cater for racers of his young age. Halfway through the season he was ranked third in the club’s championship. Neo is a very determined young lad and gives 100% at each motocross training session. Besides training for motocross six days a week, Neo also goes trampolining on Tuesday’s, which help with his co-ordination and balance; swimming on Thursday’s to help with his stamina; karate on Friday’s, which help with stamina as well; and then he races the weekend. Neo moved up to the Junior 65cc MX group in 2016 where he is the youngest competitor.
