Orland, Omar Maxime rule Busiika Motor Cross Championship 2015

The 2015 motocross season was one that you couldn’t risk any prediction. The action packed event had surprises in the different categories of the competition. The event attracted Vivo Energy as the main sponsor this year.
 

The event that started off at 10am attracted huge crowds with hundreds driving from Kampala to watch the thrilling performances of the bikers.
 

In the M1 category defending champion Maxime Van Pee lived to expectation as he won all the three heats even after giving Arthur Blick Jr, Asaf Natan and Talha Kiggundu a head start of a minute.
 

"I'm glad that I have now. I gave Blick and Asaf a head start just because I saw the fans were bored and I wanted to excite them which worked," Maxime told New Vision after the event.
 

In the MX 2 category regional champion Ahmed Tamale is set to be elevated to the MX1 following a humiliation by Ali Omar Yasser. Omar put up a fight that saw him win the category that had several senior riders that included Michael Ntayiro, Fatuh Kiggundu and others. "I can't stand being humiliated by these young boys, but in the MX1 category no one will recognise this humiliation," Tamale stated.

 

 

In the 85 cc category new blood on the block Aviv Orland ruled the day as he upset Fortune Ssentamu in two heats.

Orland had a constant speed and could go for double jumps on some humps winning the event followed by Ssentamu, Paddy Blick and then his brother Stav Orland in the fourth position.

The youngsters gave the fans value for their money in all the heats that non-of the fans complained of American rider Daniel Sedlak not riding.
