Many riders had already arrived in the region before the restrictions were announced. “It was a bit of a drama for us to get this happening,” Motorcycling New Zealand cross-country commissioner Chris Smyth said. “We spent a couple of hours ringing around medics between 11.30pm and midnight, but thanks to help from [national series steward] Lauren Stockley, we got it all organised and we were only half-an-hour late getting started.” Taupō s Wil Yeoman led from start to finish dominating the 90-minute junior grade race overall (and in his premier up-to-300cc four-stroke class) on Sunday morning. He crossed the finish line half-a-minute ahead of runner-up rider Luke Brown, from Eketahuna.
