Friday 16 December: At the MXoN in France there were famous faces I recognised, there were some I didn't.
Alessandro Puzar:
He was working out of the ProGrip stand and was
hugely popular, continuously posing for photographs with fans.
The Italian is former two-time Motocross
World Champion. Puzar began his
motocross Grand Prix career in 1988 riding a KTM.
He was the 1990 FIM World
Champion in the 250cc class on a Suzuki.
In 1995 he won the 125cc Motocross
World Championship on a Honda.
Along with Andrea Bartolini and Alessio Chiodi,
Puzar was a member of the winning Italian team in the 2002 Motocross des
Nations.
