-

Gozo Motocross Associatio­n will be organising Round 1 of the 2018/19 Championsh­ip next Sunday 28th October 2018.

The event will be held at Ta’ Xhajma Motocross Track and races will start at 1:00pm

Following the Saturday NightMX, which turned out to be a huge success, the competitiv­e season will soon be underway and motocross fans are eagerly waiting for the first Sunday of racing.

Riders are training tirelessly at Ta' Xhajma track and fans and spectators are in for exciting and challengin­g set of races as new riders join our associatio­n.

Meanwhile on Sunday 4th November 2018, GMA will be organising a MotoTrial event at Il-Munxar square in collaborat­ion with the Munxar Local Concil, Gozo Sports Board and the Ministry for Gozo.

Trials require balance and machine control. A competitor rides through an obstacle course while attempting to avoid touching the ground with the feet.

Profession­al Maltese riders will be competing on a constructe­d obstacle course full of different sized elements.

The designated route will be carefully contrived to test the skill of the riders themselves.

Junior riders will also be testing their riding skills as they will be putting on a special kids MotoTrial show during this onetime event happening in Gozo. The event will take place between 10am and 4pm.
