However, being presented with the prestigious Munro Family Trophy by John Munro, son of Kiwi motorcycling trailblazer Burt Munro, was a lot to take in for the Central Otago motorbike racer. The accolade, which is presented each year by the Munro family, honours competitors who exhibit similar traits to the late Munro. Woods is determined to repeat his 2018 heroics, starting with next weekend's Sound of Thunder event at Ruapuna.
