Defending Grand National Champion
Jared Mees has dominated the 2018
season from the start of the year and the
record book will show yet another win after
the 13th round, but this one may have been
the toughest yet. Just two days after suffer-
ing only his second defeat on the race-
track, Mees (Indian Motorcycle/Rogers
Racing, Indian Scout FTR750) came out
on top of an epic battle with one of the only
two riders to have beaten him this year.
