Leon receives Marchese Award

From Leon Racing

MONTREAL, QC -- Royal Distributing / MBP rider Michael Leon was presented with the Tony Marchese Memorial Award at the season ending RACE Awards banquet in Trenton, ON last weekend.

Leon attended the banquet with his wife Jennifer, MBP owners Guy Martin and Janet Brickwood, mechanic and longtime friend Carlos and his girlfriend Sonia, and friends Dave Smith and Louise Markuzitch.

Leon also received his first place championship plaques for the Heavyweight Sportsman and Liquid Cooled Thunder classes.

The Tony Marchese Award is presented to the RACE competitor judged to be the best appearing rider / machine combination of that racing season. The selection is decided from votes made by other competitors, crew members, fans and individuals involved in the racing community. While accepting the award, Leon acknowledged that it should be shared with Martin for his hard work building the Ducati, rebuilding it again after each crash, and with Carlos for his diligent efforts to keep the bike spotless during each race weekend.

Leon would also like to extend his thanks to Nexo Leathers and Bell Helmets.
