This year's Roof of Africa was won by 16-year-old Wade Young, who beat a host of vastly more experienced riders to take the 2012 endurance event held in Lesotho. Young (Fever Criterion Yamaha) rode to second place in Thursday's time trial, and was fastest through the second day's riding on Friday before sealing his victory with another fantastic effort on Saturday to beat Altus de Wet (Brother Broadlink KTM) and last year's winner Graham Jarvis (Flite Extreme Husaberg) who completed the podium.
