Garan Reck (810) from Monster SA in the start of the 2 nd Moto in MX 3
The MX1 Class saw a welcome return to
form for reigning champ, Sacha Naude. He
dug deep in heat 1 to fend off big pressure
from Ant Raynard. Those 2 checked out in
heat 1, leaving Kerim Fitz-Gerald in a lonely
3rd. It was sad to see Wyatt Avis crash on
lap 1 and taken to hospital. Wyatt had his
spleen removed and a kidney laceration
fixed, which means he will be out for some
time. We wish him all the best. In heat 2,
Kerim rectified his heat 1 bad start and
got the holeshot. Sacha was once again
fending off Ant Raynard on the Ace sports
Husqvarna. Michael Docherty flew through
the pack from way down and got into 2nd.
He had the pace to catch Kerim, but dropped
it with 2 laps to go. This put Sacha back in
2nd and would give him the overall. Caleb
Tennant was racing his first race back from
injury and was fastest in practice. Sadly, he
had bike trouble in both heats and could
only manage 6th. Shannon Terreblanche
was 4th and David Goosen was 5th on their
Husqvarnas. This class is really competitive
and is great to watch.
The racing was fast and furious in Cape
Town and we can expect it to continue in the
deep sand of PE.
