New Zealand motorcycle racer Avalon Biddle won the inaugural FIM Women's European Championship in 2015 and is in the process of making the defence of her title look easy.
While not suggesting that throwing a large motorcycle around various European racetracks is a walk in the park, Biddle is comfortably the best female racer around.
The young woman leads the women's series (within the main European Junior Cup) by a healthy 53 points over Laura Rodriguez and is nicely placed mid-pack (15th) overall.
Biddle has regularly been in the top 10 overall in the last few races and is keen to finish the last two races, starting at Magny-Cours, France in two weeks time, battling inside the top six.
"I have been qualifying and finishing inside the top 10 recently and, at the beginning of the year, I would have been over the moon with that result," said Biddle in an interview with Newstalk ZB.
