Cole Davies Makes History on Birthday | Auckland News
Description
Cole Davies just shattered records—becoming the first New Zealander to win the AMA Pro Motocross 250 Championship, and he did it on his birthday, sealing the title after a nail-biting final round where his rival crashed. He’s already pulled off an elite “double” by winning Supercross earlier this year, joining just 13 riders in 50 years to do so. With mentor Ben Townley guiding him since youth and now racing for Yamaha Star Racing, Davies dominated America’s top factory riders despite entering with just a 14-point lead. His journey—from amateur races in the U.S. to topping the SMX playoff seeding—is proof of relentless grit. This isn’t just personal triumph—it’s putting New Zealand motocross on the global map.
