MARCH 17, 2021: The 2021 New Zealand
Motocross Championships nudge past the halfway stage at
Pukekohe this weekend with plenty still left to fight
for.
With two of four rounds completed, it looks
fairly cut and dried already in two of the five bike
categories, although, as we ve seen recently with the
America s Cup yacht racing, it s never over until the final
chequered flag comes out.
Round three is set for the
Pukekohe Motorcycle Club s track near Harrisville on
Saturday and results here could be decisive in deciding
where the trophies finally end up.
In the premier
MX1 class, West Auckland s Hamish Harwood has a solid

To say it s tight at
the top of the 2021 New Zealand Cross-country Championship
standings would be an understatement of massive
proportions.
The four-round 2021 Yamaha-sponsored New
Zealand Cross-country Championships kicked off near Marton
just over two weeks ago and on that occasion it was
Napier-based former Wairoa rider Tommy Watts who stole the
spotlight, with Palmerston North s Paul Whibley in his
shadow, finishing runner-up in the three-hour senior race
that day.

New Zealand s elite
cross-country racers are back in business again this coming
weekend, each of them keen to push on or improve upon their
results from the series opener two weeks ago.
The
four-round 2021 Yamaha-sponsored New Zealand Cross-country
Championships kicked off near Marton, in the Rangitikei
region, two weeks ago and it certainly sorted the men from
the boys and the women from the girls.
Round two in

FEBRUARY 24,
2021: If there is one event on your motorcycling
calendar that should not be missed this season, then this is
probably it.
Ready to mark its fourth anniversary at
the popular north Waikato race track on the weekend of March
6-7, the Mike Pero MotoFest is sure to again rate as New
Zealand s must see and must do motorcycling event of the
year.
This will be particularly so with the inclusion

New Zealand s elite cross-country racers will be
back in business this weekend and, after a 2020 season
ruined by a pesky virus, the 2021 series is sure to be a
ripper.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced organisers to
write off the 2020 Yamaha-sponsored New Zealand
Cross-country Championships, just a week after the
competition had kicked off in the Rangitikei region last
February and, with the country now under only Level One
restrictions, riders will be eager to make a welcome return
to the exact same venue for the start of the 2021 series
this Sunday.
The four-round series kicks off on
farmland near Marton on Sunday, with a line-up that s likely
