The cream of Africa and South Africa’s motocross fraternity will converge on Rover Motorcycle track this weekend for the Motorsport South Africa National Championship rounds six on Saturday and round 7 on Sunday. After the recent rain, the legendary soft sand track is in pristine condition, and spectators will be treated to lots of high-flying action.

Local Eastern Cape riders participating in the championship are:

• MX50cc Riley Geldenhuys, Aden Fisher, Mason Barnes, Joshua-Zion Naude, Cole Kruger, Wian Scheepers and Rourke Walker
• MX65cc Aiden Retief, Kyle Brunette, Kendr Krull, Ricky Korte and Quade Walker
• MX85cc Andrew Venter and Luke Krull
• MX High School Darryl Brunette,, Kyle Townsend and Daniel Venter
• MX2 Breece Romans
• MX3 Royce Griffin, Craig Kruger, and Morne van Rensburg
• MX1 Daniel Venter

Unfortunately, MX85 hotshot Caden Weise will be sitting this one out as he continues to recover from breaking his leg earlier in the season.

Tickets for the event are available online at Quicket or at the gate and cost R80 per person per day with free entry to children under 12.
