Good conditions for the Motocross racing but too few riders.....

After missing a couple of the 2022 Motocross race meetings due to being assigned to cover other events it was great to be on the top of the Pleinmont cliffs again on Saturday.

Of course it might not have been so pleasant if the weather had produced the rain that had been forecast.

But as it turned out it was most enjoyable. There had even been some, rare for this summer, rainfall in the past couple of days to dampen down most of the dust... so a dip in the bath wasn't required once I got home!

However it was disappointing to see how small the entry was - leaving seven of the eight classes with three or less riders! This must put at risk the viability of running these events. It's a real shame as when I chatted to riders in the pits they were all saying how much fun they were having.

Maybe later in the season some of the MX riders will return from their 'summer holiday' riding the sands at Vazon Bay?
