It was celebration time for Hawke s Bay s Tommy Watts at the weekend, with back-to-back wins in the South Island earning him his first national motorcycling cross-country title.
The 19-year-old Napier-based former Wairoa man had a share of the lead in the Yamaha-sponsored competition after the first two four rounds for the series, with just two days of high-speed motorcycle racing in the South Island, near Balclutha on Saturday and then near Mosgiel on Sunday, to wrap it all up.
