Having made the leap from the Relentless 125GP Championship (view 125 site)
Lee is currently competing in his first season in the Metzeler Superstock 1000
National Championship. With the impressive transition behind him Lee quickly
found his feet and is now turning heads amongst the rank and file as he makes his
way higher up through the grid.
Where it all began…
Racing is in Lee's blood as at the tender age of 3 years old Lee's dad
(and team boss), Tony, bought him his first bike, a PW50.
By the time Lee was six he was racing Junior Motocross and since then he has
raced and won at various levels including:
- 2003: Preston & District MCC - Single Cylinder Champion
- 2004: New Era Super Club – 125cc Runner up
- 2005: New Era Super Club – 125cc Champion
- 2006: ACU Star Championships - 125cc Champion
- 2007: British 125cc Championship - 8th
- 2008: British 125cc Championship – 12th
- 2009: British 125cc Championship/Superstock 1000 National Championship
- 2010: Superstock 1000 National Championship
Back in 2007 Vent Axia recognized Lee's natural talent and took on the role
as his primary sponsor. The 2008 season was somewhat of a roller coaster which
saw him achieve some astonishing results on a bike which (on paper) was
significantly underpowered compared to many of his regular front running rivals.
Based purely on Lee's riding style and his ability to carry such huge corner speeds
a maiden victory looked inevitable from the outset of the championship.
This duly came at Mallory Park in June 08 in a race which saw him charge from 12th
to first by the end of the second lap.
Lee's impressive results and determination were rewarded with a wild card ride in
the World 125cc Championship race at Donington which he rates as the most memorable
highlights of his career so far. He finished a creditable 26th place and was the only
British wildcard rider to finish the race.
Unsurprisingly Lee's ambition is to reach the pinnacle of the sport in Moto GP and all
who know him are in no doubt that he has skill and talent to take it all the way
to the top.
The story continues into this season with nothing stopping Lee taking huge chunks
off each qualifying time and results.
