Riders ready for MX Science Challenge in Busiika on Sunday

Despite a challenging track due to the daily rains, motocross riders are ready for the Sunday MX Science Challenge in Busiika, Luwero district.

Wazir Omar, the MX125cc national champion said he is ready for action and will give his challengers a run for their money.

"It has been raining for the last three days which makes the track slippery and muddy, but this is a sport for all environments and I'm ready for the challenge," Omar said.

Wazir is expecting a tough challenge from his elder brother Ali Omar, Fortune Sentamu, and Stav Orland.

The Motorcycling Association (MAU) organised event has attracted over 80 riders who have been training in Busiika for the last two months and will be telecast on urban television.

In the 50cc junior, youngsters including Jude Kyle Musede, Larry Ssekamwa, Noel Ssekamwa, and Edrick Musede battle each other for top honours.

In the 65cc class, Gift Ssebuguzi and Kraidah Nsubuga renew their rivalry in one of the highly billed races.

Jeremiah Mawanda, Alon Orland, Wazir Omar, Milton Akaki, Mark Namisano, Marcus Bukenya, Malcolm Omoding, and Muhindo brothers Daryl & Jonathan renew their rivalry in the MX 85cc class.

In the MX1 class, National Motocross team captain Maxime Van Pee is expecting a new KTM 2021model bike will face-off with Aviv Orland and Fatuh Kiggundu.

According to MAU secretary Julius Bukenya all podium finishers are assured of medals and plans are underway to add on other prizes.
