Mark Chamberlain Appointed as MXON Team GB Manager
Following the recent resignation of Neil Prince as the MXoN Team Manager, the ACU Motocross Committee would like to thank Neil for his hard work and achievements during the last 5 years in the position. It is never an easy job as Team Manager but Neil has always been professional with the ACU, riders and worked within the constraints of budgets and riders availability to be able to field the strongest team possible to represent Team GB. Unfortunately bad luck has robbed the team and Neil the podium results which they deserved in recent years.
