The fifth annual Connor Smith Memorial meeting was particularly poignant this year at the Quad x Des Nations motocross competition at Cingoli, Italy, owing to the trophy being brought to the UK for the first time after being won by a British motorcyclist.
The meeting, and the Connor Smith Memorial Trophy, is in honour of Shiskine quad racing champion, Connor Smith who tragically died during a quad racing event in 2013.
Last year the American riders took home the bulk of the prizes but at the most recent Quad x Des Nations – where eight riders represented the UK over the two days – four riders took podium finishes, bringing the silverware back to the UK.
