Double Podium for Team G Cross Honda in France
Both Team G Cross Honda riders, Greg Minnaar (RSA) and Matti Lehikoinen (FIN)
landed on the podium today at the Finals of the French Cup, giving Honda their
first one-two finish in international racing. The French Series is highly
respected due to the quality of young and talented riders that France produces
every year. In fact, the French Cup is where Greg Minnaar was first brought in
1998 when he was a junior, to learn how to race the European circuit.
This week's race was in La Bresse, near Mulhouse, in the north east of France,
