Gozo Motocross Association organised its 6th calendar event of the 2015/16 season on Sunday. Unfortunately the event had to be cancelled after its first hour of racing due to heavy rains which rendered the condition of the track unsafe for the riders.
The Fourth Round of the Gozo Championship had to be cut short at the first round of racing in classes A, B and C. Members of the committee together with the riders decided it would be very unsafe to use the track at the time. Nevertheless, the winners were awarded a trophy each.
In today's competitions, GMA welcomed four ASMK riders to participate alongside the Gozitan riders. Class A featured an exciting Round 1, with Gozitan champion Etienne Bigeni and Malta's Champion Clayton Camilleri, as they battled for first place.
Mario Cauchi's bike broke down, while Joseph Bigeni, Robert Spiteri and Kyle Camilleri were determined to fight it out in the pouring rain. Clayton Camilleri ended up in first place, followed by Etienne and Joseph Bigeni respectively.
Meanwhile in Class B the newcomer Samuel Spiteri surprised spectators by coming in first, followed by Edward Ciantar and Matthew Mercieca. Jorn Stellini held on tightly to his first place, while Joseph Luke Gauci stepped up to 2nd place with Josef Camilleri close behind.
Gozo Motocross Association said that the next event will take place on Sunday, the 14th of February, at Ta' Xhajma Track.
