14-year-old Motocross superstar, Steph Turnbull placed second at the Queensland MX Championships on June 28 – July 1. Steph also placed fourth on her larger bike. She is now preparing to race her heart out at the Australian MX Championships in Perth next month.
Steph Turnbull told GC&M News she was happy with how she placed at States, and is training for Nationals. “I was pumped, I loved getting up on the box, I was so happy with how I went,” she said. “I’m excited to go to Nationals.”
Her dad used to do road racing when he was younger. Steph also started road racing when her dad bought her a bike eight years ago, then transitioned into motocross five years ago.
“I like motocross because it’s fun, it just clears my head a bit, the feeling you get when you’re riding is just amazing,” Steph said. Her mum, Tabitha, praised her daughter’s achievements. “I’m proud of her and I’m happy for her, and what she has done has been great, she’s put a lot of hard work into it,” she said.
Steph is currently looking for businesses to sponsor her as she gets ready for her trip across the country. If you would like to sponsor Steph, her bike or T-shirt, email tmandct@ bigpond.com
