Josiah Natzke heads back to New Zealand

One rider that’s gifted with lots of talent is Josiah Natzke. He’s spent the last number of years racing around Europe including the EMX championships, the UK and German championships.

When Natzke was contesting the EMX125 series he was battling the likes of Jorge Prado, Conrad Mewse and Maxime Renaux and many tipped him for big things in the future.

Since making the jump up to the 250cc for whatever reason things just haven’t worked out. The past two years Natzke hasn’t been in the GP paddock much as he’s contested the ADAC German Youngsters Cup series.

For 2020, Natzke will be back in New Zealand to contest the National championship over there.
