Cole Davies, the nineteen year-old Kiwi now at the top of the 250SX charts, scored a clean sweep 1-1-1 at the Alabama round in a race program that had the addition of East Coast taking on the West Coast for bragging rights. Hailing from Waitoki, north of Auckland, the quietly spoken racer, mentored by Ben Townley, let his riding tell the story. His first races were, by most peoples’ standards, impressive but to Cole, not so much. Working on not getting ahead of himself and just doing what he does so well, the more relaxed and mature rider who shot out of the gate looks like the consummate pro. Extending his lead, he now focusses on the East Coast title that eluded him in his rookie season as a professional in the US. His ability to focus on his game and not let the other top-tier riders rattle him was obvious in the latest rounds and bodes well for the season and the bright future of the talented Kiwi putting New Zealand very much back on the map, carrying on the legacy of the likes of Ben Townley, Josh Coppins, Shayne King, to name but a few. With the racing, the tracks and the atmosphere unlike anything back home, the way Cole Davies has adapted to the hype of the sport of Supercross is stunning in a young man of only nineteen. Winter entertainment for those here at home.
