ZACH OSBORNE
Riding front seat on the struggle bus up until last week where he earned the first overall outdoor victory of his now lengthy moto career, the season has been black and white for the veteran, Zach Osborne, through eleven rounds. Suffering from the syndrome that prevents posting two moto’s together at the
same race, Osborne finally found his answer at Budds Creek. The Rockstar Husqvarna rider was able to put it together and use the advantage of the second moto to finally defeat the stacked field. Now, a week later and the true test comes. Having now accomplished that endlessly sought after goal, what’s next? Another win, of course, but it can be hard to repeat. For Osborne, sitting 7th in points, the purpose at this point is to lay it down and finish the year strong. To do that, the bike will need to stay running and upright, his grip firm yet loose and his aggressiveness stable but active. Homeboy has the skills and should now have the confidence it takes to make the next step. A strong performance to close out the year could be just what Zach needs to start a new chapter closer to the front.
