ZACH OSBORNE
Osborne was destined for great things with outstanding rides he showed as an amateur. Zach has always showed the speed to be a front runner but couldn’t put all the pieces together
to be secure with a factory ride and his options became limited. The now Husky rider ended up taking a different course than the rest of his American competitors and went overseas to
race the MXGP circuit. Zacho put in some great rides while racing across the pond and was even named the most successful American to compete in the FIM World Motocross Championship since the year 2000. BikeIt Cosworth Yamaha and Zach came to terms to race a couple rounds of Supercross on the West Coast series. With multiple top ten finishes and two podiums Zach gained a lot of interest to factory teams and we finally seen the #338 on the gate of the AMA full time. With a few years on the highly sought after Geico honda team and racing in the States, contract time was up and it was factory Husqvarna that snagged up the podium contender. Zach has made a few mistakes this season keeping him out of the title hunt but he is respectfully fourth in points.
