The world motocross circus is heading for South Africa. The showdown will take place at Sun City on July 15 and 16 and all organisational and circuit preparation has begun in the build-up to this two-wheeled extravaganza.
This comes after the MX Grand Prix of Great Britain, Winchester, provided the ideal setting for battle to be waged. The Matterley Basin circuit hosted 39000 spectators with the full-Monty of MX1 and MX2 antics and rivalry that the keen supporters have come to expect from the series.
In the MX1 race it was Stefan Everts (Yamaha) who was the eventual winner with Kenneth de Dyker and Joshua Coppins coming in second and third respectively for the Honda team.
In MX2 it was David Philippaerts (KTM) who finished on top, closely followed by Christophe Pourcel (Kawasaki) and Billy Mackenzie (Yamaha).
The anticipation is now building rapidly for the South African round of FIM Motocross Grand Prix. Interest is high and tickets are selling fast, which indicates exactly how much hype there is surrounding this international dirt bike spectacular.
Heavy machinery is already hard at work trying to make the circuit worthy of world class competition and in particular a world class event.
The roar of powerful, high-revving two stokes will attack the senses of all who get themselves down to Sun City and soak up what could possibly be the best ever round of this scintillating sporting phenomenon seen on local turf.
