Eight-times FIM Women’s World Trials Champion, Emma Bristow, has been awarded an MBE for services to Motorsport and Women in Sport.
The award reflects Emma’s long-term career in motorsport and tireless commitment to putting Britain on top of the motorcycle world with a total so far of 44 FIM TrialGP wins, eight FIM Women’s World Trials Championship titles and a further two FIM Women’s World Super Enduro titles making her one of Britain’s top female athletes.
Commenting on the award, Bristow said, “I am so honoured to receive this award. It was completely unexpected, and all I have ever tried to do is keep improving myself and raise the level of women’s competition. I want to thank everybody who has supported my career, particularly Sherco Motorcycles, who have committed to women in motorsport above and beyond any other manufacturer.”
The date for the official award ceremony has yet to be announced, so Emma will have to wait for her visit to meet the Royals at Buckingham Palace.
