EP10: Inside the Helmet - Liam Owens
This year, the hotly contested Penrite ProMX Championship’s MX3 class has seen the emergence of a new generation of future Aussie motocross superstars.
One of those prospects is T-Dub Husqvarna’s Liam Owens. At just 15 years of age, Liam has achieve multiple overall podium finishes during this year’s Penrite ProMX Championship. His performances caught the attention of the French-based Bud Racing Kawasaki outfit, who invited Liam to come to Europe to race two rounds of the MXGP’s European Championship in the EMX250 class as part of the team.
We catch up with Liam to talk about his experiences racing overseas, the rising pool of talent in Australian motocross, and Liam’s goals, under the guidance of his mentor, experienced MX1 legend Todd Waters, to one day earn a full-time ride in the MXGP’s premiere class.
