Miguel duhamel biography

Montreal’s Miguel Duhamel, now based in Las Vegas, is certainly one of the best road racers ever produced in Canada. He is central in the discussion surrounding Canada’s top ever International competitor, along with earlier era stars like Mike Duff as well as Miguel’s legendary father, Yvon.

Miguel, along with older brother Mario and sister Gina, learned to ride on mini bikes at an early age, often in public, at race events where father Yvon was working, representing Deeley Yamaha, Yamaha Canada, and especially Kawasaki.

From there, Miguel climbed the dirt bike competition ladder, eventually winding up in Super Cross.

Duhamel credits motocross with teaching him “dirt bike English.” No one can explain Duhamel’s early fascination with the art of comedian Rodney Dangerfield, especially “Caddyshack.”

Miguel switched focus to road racing in 1987, riding Yamaha RZ350 and FZ750 equipment to considerable success in Eastern Canada.

Duhamel stepped up to Pro, earning Top Rookie Honors in
