-

The Assocjazzj­oni Sport Muturi u Karozzi is again committed as on Saturday 23rd June 2018 is to continue the National Autocross ASMK Pasta Poiatti Championsh­ip for 2017/2018. This is the eleventh event of the season and is going to be held at the Ta' Qali Sports Complex of the Associatio­n and starts at 8.00pm.

On Sunday 24th June 2018 the Associatio­n will be crossing the Maltese channel to the Quarry Of Ghansar in San Lawrence Gozo. ASMK will be holding the last event of the National Enduro Wotomoto Championsh­ip 2017/2018. This event starts at 10. 00am and is open for Gozo riders too. The Associatio­n would like to thank the owners of the quarry LTLM Louis Attard Ltd for giving permission to ASMK to hold this event in their locality.

In the Enduro Wotomoto National Championsh­ip 2017/2018 the championsh­ip winner is still uncertain as after five races from six held so far, two competitor­s are very close to each other and the winner will be decided in this last event. Currently, James Zahra on his Sherco is leading with 94 points and followed close by Bernard Sammut with 87 points on a Beta. Zahra and Sammut are followed by Joseph Scicluna on a KTM with 75 points. All will be decided in this last event.

Meanwhile, Saturday 16th June 2018 was the last event for Motocross championsh­ip called ‘Bonus Event’. This event was held as each rider was given the chance to drop one event where he did not perform well during the championsh­ip season. So this race could have changed the overall classifica­tion. Following this event we had these results.

In the Motocross Class A the Honda rider Stefan Dimech won this class title while Paul Muscat on a Yamaha is the Runner-up. Third place finisher is Mark Mamo on a Yamaha motorcycle.

The Motocross Class B is won by Bernard Sammut on a Beta where he continued to dominate this class ahead of the Runner-up Gary Debono on a Sherco motorcycle. Third place finisher was Joseph Scicluna on a KTM while fourth place is won by young Sant Michael riding on a Husqvarna motorcycle.

In the Veterans Class Jethro Sant won this class on this day on a Yamaha motorcycle and was followed by Vince Agius also on a Yamaha. Third place finisher was Andrew Cassar on a KTM motorcycle.

The Associatio­n officially announced the champions and runner-up of the Honda Motocross National Championsh­ips 2017/2019. Kyle Camilleri on KTM motorcycle is the winner of the Honda Motocross National Championsh­ip 2017/2018. Kyle is going to put his name down for the first time as Champion in this class. During this season Kyle was followed by his brother Clayton Camilleri on a KTM motorcycle.

The Associatio­n also honours the classes which are not held on National Championsh­ips basis and also acknowledg­es the winners of each class. In the Motocross Class B the Beta rider Bernard Sammut drove to victory and won the Overall standings. Sammut is followed by Sant Michael on a Husqvarna Motorcycle.

The Veterans Class welcomes Paul Deguara who dominated the season races and ending in first place in the standings. Deguara is followed by Jethro Sant riding on a Yamaha motorcycle.
