GARETH Roberts has scooped the UK Clubsport Rookie of the Year trophy for 2019 after one of the tightest races in our polling history.
The Thundersport Pre-National Freshman 600 champion, who wrapped up his title two rounds early this past season, captured the public honour by a mere four votes, pipping No Limits Racing Newcomer 600 champ Daniel Roby with 18.5% to the latter’s 18.3%.
Scotsman Mark Nimmo finished third with 15.1% of the public vote while NLR Newcomer 1000 man Jake Ebbage and Bemsee’s Rookie 600 champ Cedric Bloch rounded out the top five with 10.3% and 9.7%, respectively.
