The cream of New Zealand Junior Motocross descended on Kevan McAlwee’s property just outside Mosgiel, this weekend, and 13 - 15 April, for the 2007 KTM New Zealand Junior Motocross Championships.
The young up and coming riders had to contend with all sorts of weather, Friday saw rain, extremely cold winds, close to snow, Saturday was better with some sunny periods, but the wind remained. Sunday dawned with it overcast and windy, but as the day wore on the sun came out.
Through all these conditions the future World Champions battled on.
This year’s Championships saw the class wins spend out through the motorcycle distributors.
KTM’s Australian import Jesse Dobson won the 8-10 years 85cc class with consistency, he only won one race but he took out six seconds, finishing twelve points clear of Dairy Flat’s Brandon Tipene also on a KTM.
While Wellington’s Henry Madams top the table in the 14-16 years 250cc class on his KTM with seven wins from seven starts
Honda riders dominated three classes, Mosgiel’s Campbell King took seven wins from seven starts in the 11-12 years 85cc class, while Mangakino’s Cameron Dillon dominated the 12-16 years 150cc class with seven wins and also took six wins and a second in 12-14 years 125cc class.
Yamaha’s raising star Cambridge’s Kieran Leigh took seven wins from seven starts in the 13-16 years 85cc class, to claim the title.
Meanwhile Ngatea’s Luke Temple took his Yamaha to the top of the 15-16 years 125cc class, with two wins, three seconds, a fourth and a seventh.
