Riders for Health Riding the Roof of Africa - Video

Riders for Health does some amazing work for the people of Africa. On occasion, though, they also take anyone who can afford to pay the entry fee on rides through the continent, which, as we all know, is one of the most beautiful and untouched places on the face of the Earth.

Randy Mamola's son, Dakota, won his first race at the final round of the Metrakit 125cc Pre-GP Mediterranean Championship in Valencia. It was a rain-affected race, and the conditions were terrible. The young Mamola started the race in 17th position on the grid, but managed to get to fifth by the first corner.
