Brace yourselves for action like this when the start gates drop at round one of the 2021 New Zealand Motocross Championships at Woodville in January
Broad said an Under-19 Championship will again be run within MX2 and would be awarded to the best-placed rider aged under19 competing in the MX2 class , as we have the past two seasons . The exciting news is the new 2T Cup class . This is for the two-stroke bikes that compete within MX1 and now ensuring they are recognised for their achievements . “ For example , Aucklander Blake Gillard finished fifth overall riding a 250cc two-stroke bike against the 350cc and 450cc MX1 bike riders in the 2019 series and , if the 2T Cup had been in place at that time , he would have been the winner of the 2T Cup . “ There will be no MX3 non-championship support class races run at the Woodville round , but there would be at the three rounds that follow , and this year it will be a series , with the top riders recognised at the prize-giving after Taupo . “ We are looking forward to an exciting season , with something for everyone . More details on the series and the classes will be released over the coming weeks ,” said Broad .
