2016 International Woodville NZ Grand Prix

2016 International Woodville Grand Prix kicks off this weekend promising full gates, exciting racing, down to the wire results on the natural terrain track over January 30th and 31st.

With massive entry numbers tipping 500, from Minis through to Juniors, Senior Support, Seniors, Women’s, Vets and the infamous River Race, Manawatu Orion Motorcycle club stamps another successful event on the calendar as a must do for NZ Motocross riders and fans.

Battles on the track are predicted with 2015 NZ MX1 Champion Cody Cooper (Honda Racing) vying for top podium spot prior to 2016 NZ MX Nationals which start the following week. To keep Coops honest Rhys Carter (3twenty3racing), Hamish Harwood (CML Racing), Brad Groombridge (Action Moto Hawera) and Scott Columb (Whyteline Kawasaki) will turn the heat up at gate drop.

New Zealand’s only Motocross Grand Prix attracts International riders with no other than Australia’s Todd Waters (MC2 Racing), JCR Yamaha’s Dean Ferris and Argentina’s Joaquin Ferrandez (MC2 Racing) providing added depth to the MX1 field.

MX2 hosts a top field with qualifying times top of the list for riders: Kayne Lamont (JCR Yamaha), Josiah Natzke (KTM) Hamish Harwood, Courtney Duncan (JCR Yamaha), along with up-coming Trent Collins (Blue Wing Honda).

Courtney Duncan will prove yet again what she is made of: a tonne of courage and determination racing 2 classes with one race in between MX2 and Women’s.

The weekend tops the fun factor for fans with the River Race on Sunday, proving MOMCC holds a winning formula for MX riders, family, friends, and mainstream public.
