DIRT AND TRAIL

It was the orange young guns who
dominated the first race of the season.
Rising star Camden Mc Lellan made his
High School class debut, and is elated to
have taken third.
Jonathan Mlimi blazed his away over the
rough terrain to take the overall Pro Mini
win. Not far behind him was teammate
Nate Mc Lellan who snatched up the
second spot on the podium.
“I had a really good start in the second
heat and managed to take the lead. It
was my race after that and it felt really
good! I enjoy this kind of rough terrain,
but I’m glad to have PE out of the way,”

but I’ve taken a lot of positives out of

from the moment he took the lead in the
first heat of MX1. A head-to-head battle
for victory unfolded in the second moto,
which saw Tennant tie for points and end
the day in an overall second place.
He started MX2 in a similar fashion when
he pulled away from the starting blocks to
finish the heat in first. With only four laps
to go in the second moto, Tennant made
a crucial error: “I dug the front end in and
couldn’t start the bike, and landed up
