EVA WINTLE A ‘ POCKET ROCKET ’ ON THE GIXXER SUZUKI
Don ’ t let the small stature fool you ,
Wairarapa ’ s Eva Wintle is not one to be trifled with . The 23-year-old real estate agent from Masterton has only been racing motorcycles for 12 months now , but already she ’ s winning races at national championship level . The talented rider has set the track alight this season , winning one of her three races in the GIXXER Cup class – on a damp and treacherous track no less – at round one of the combined Suzuki International Series / New Zealand Superbike Championships at Taupo . And she repeated the dose at the second round at Manfeild , just outside Feilding , over the weekend of Dec 9-11 , again winning a race in the wet , this time when the rain was bucketing down . Combined with her other top-eight results , Wintle therefore finished the GIXXER Cup
