ZACH OSBORNE
As has been said before, Zach Osborne could be one of the most underrated threats on the outdoor starting line in the 250 class. With boat loads of amateur success, some entry level accolades once he made the jump into the professional ranks and a list of impressive international performances, Zach has seemed to be missing that
one thing that could take him straight to the front of the pack. Now what that one thing is, exactly, may be debatable but what it seems like is the simple concept of consistent beginnings. More specifically, Zach has landed on the podium twice so far this year and has only finished outside the top ten once, yet what keeps him from the top spot is where he starts his moto. It’s not necessarily the start, itself, but it can be. Whether that, an early race mistake or a bike malfunction, Osborne just never seems to catch the right break. Luckily, through- out the ups and downs, Osborne currently sits 5th in points as the boys roll into Millville for round eight and is relatively within reach of both the 3rd and 4th place positions. If Zach can rocket off the gate strong and keep it together for a full thirty plus two, it wouldn’t be surprising to see another fresh face on top of the podium.
