Save for a forgettable 2019 season in the United States, Thomas Covington has spent his entire professional racing career abroad, chasing glory on the FIM World Championship Motocross circuit. The likable racer from Alabama has tasted victory four times on the GP circuit and has given American race fans someone to cheer for in the World Championships.
After struggling with injuries and a bout with the Epstein Barr virus in ’19 when he was lured back to his home country by a ride with the Rockstar Energy Racing Husqvarna team, Covington has elected to return to the more familiar World Championship circuit in ’20 and beyond.
Always one of our favorite racers to chat with, Covington joined us on the SML Show set just before heading overseas to prepare for his first assault on the MXGP class with the Gebben Van Venrooy Yamaha team. We really enjoyed our conversation with Big Air Tom, and we think you will, too!
