Heikki Mikkola for Classic Dirt 12!!
You read that correctly, as well as Broc Glover, Yamaha Australia is bringing Heikki Mikkola out from Finland for Classic Dirt, to help celebrate Yamaha's 60th anniversary. Heikki, known as the 'Flyin' Finn', won four World Motocross Championships, two of them being with Yamaha, in 1977 and 1978. They were both in the 500cc class and indeed, Heikki gave Yamaha their very first 500cc World Motocross Championship. He had won two World Championships previously, with Husqvarna, in 1974 and 1976 and was the first rider to win World Motocross Championships in both the 250cc and 500cc classes.
Heikki is a motocross superstar, right up there with the likes of DeCoster and Robert, and it will be just sensational to have him with us at Classic Dirt 12. With Mikkola and Broc Glover, this is going to be one hell of an event! A huge thanks to Yamaha Australia for making this possible.
