For this edition of ‘5 Lap Sprint,’ I thought we’d talk to a variety of different people and ask them about Christmas Gifts. We have a pretty good assortment of moto folks for this one: We have Pro racer #3 Tyler Medaglia, Factory Husqvarna mechanic Scott ‘Donk’Donkersgoed, KTM Canada’s Clody Lapointe , star amateur racer Tanner Ward, and last but definitely not least, lady racer Dominique Daffé.
