H
amilton’s Kayne Lamont and Mount
Maunganui’s Josiah Natzke should be
in a confident mood after celebrating
the premier class wins at the pre-nationals
motocross hit-out at Whakatane in
late December.
Both men have plenty of overseas experience
and that’s what it took for them to match and
beat the world class athletes lined up against
them at the 48th annual Honda-sponsored
Whakatane Summercross motocross event
near Matata on December 28-29.

Team rider Natzke won the MX2 (250cc) class
trophy during the senior phase of racing at
Whakatane, thrilled to be able to add that to
the New Zealand Supercross Championships
SX2 class title that he won in November.
Natzke had celebrated his debut ride for the
Kawasaki team in New Zealand in October by
winning the MX2 class at the annual MX Fest
extravaganza in Taupo and this string of wins
sets him up nicely for the 2020 New Zealand
Motocross Championships that are set to kick
off in Balclutha on February 1.
This latest result further enhances his glorious
homecoming after a season of racing in the
United Kingdom.
