Profile: Lewis began riding motorcycles at the age of six in local fields

In March 2006, Lewis entered the Low Capacity Road Racing Clubs Pitbike Supermoto championship where he finished the season 4^th overall. March 2007 Lewis competed in the GP50 rookie class at just nine years old (10 in July) in spite of the tight twisty track of Three Sisters, the early signs were fantastic. Lewis led the race from start to finish, this continued throughout the season until he was finally crowned “2007 GP 50 Rookie British Champion”, the youngest ever at only 10 years old.

The bike was then converted into a GP50 open spec, which meant more horsepower and better tyres. Now he was playing with the big boys and again the youngest on the grid. Lewis won three races outright and went on to finish the season third overall in the National Pocket Bike GP50 Open British Championship. 

The 2009 season saw Lewis promoted to the GP70 Open British Championship. He was on the same bike except with even greater horsepower and Lewis dominated the whole championship.  His worst place was 3^rd.  He sealed the championship with two rounds to go and was crowned “2009 NPS GP70 Open British Champion and “British GP70 Conti Cup Champion at only 12 years old.

The plan for 2010 was that Lewis would be part of the Aprilia Superteens Championship. However, a chance conversation with Moto GB gave him a two year contract to race two factory supported Cagiva Mito Sp525 (125cc). Lewis is now part of this prestigious brand and the televised Motorcycle Racing Organisation (MRO) Superteens Championship.
