Victim of politics: Ex-HRC star Evgeny Bobryshev opens up about all Russians banned from MX racing

He's a former GP winner and British champion, and has lived in Holland for 17 years with his Dutch wife... but Evgeny Bobryshev held onto his Russian passport. Unlike big stars of other sports like cycling and tennis who can compete as 'neutrals', motorcycling cracked down on all Russians following the Ukraine war and enforced a blanket ban. After a full season banned from pro racing, we caught up with 'Bobby' as he had his first test on a 2023 Husqvarna FC450 on the incredible new Oxford Moto Parc circuit as he prepares to race again - if he is allowed to. And he's lost none of his speed and style!
