Lionel Sanders defends The Championship in Samorin

It was a win which took “Literally everything I had in my body, in my being, to catch Sebastian”, but on Sunday Lionel Sanders overcame everything that was thrown at him to produce a memorable victory at The Championship in Samorin. I spoke to him shortly after the race.

This is not pain for me. This is enjoyable… it’s fun.
