Mikayla Nielsen is one of the best motocross and offroad riders on the planet. Winner of Loretta Lynns in 2019, she has dominated the NGPC championship for two seasons. On the podium at both rounds of the WMX championship that she has contested, KayKay took some time to answer our questions.
Mikayla you are leading the NGPC Series championship with many points ahead, will you participate in the WMX remaining races?
Sadly I will not be able to attend the last races due to my NGPC Series Championship. With focusing on training for that championship plus traveling it’s a lot to juggle both.
You finished third at Loretta Lynns, can you tell us about your weekend?
My weekend at Loretta Lynn’s was up and down. It was a big achievement to qualify for Collegeboy and WMX and also come back to the ranch after only going once. First moto of WMX, I came through the pack the whole time and didn’t put myself in the best position. The other 2 motos I was in second and did put myself up there but I didn’t ride like how I know I can.
