Lutzfluh in Switzerland was the venue for the final round of the IMBA Open Class European Championship on Sunday with just two Brits, Will Hughes (SRH Racing Husqvarna) and Henry Williams (Apex GasGas UK) able to make the journey. Those two lads though certainly gave it their absolute all and wore the AMCA Team Great Britain shirt with pride. Henry was to finish on the podium with a super 2nd overall whilst Will got home in a great 4th.

Read MoreThe combination of a Long Lane circuit running in reverse direction mixed with a nice sprinkling of ‘Wildcard riders’ and changing track conditions resulted in a very interesting round 6 of the AMCA British Motocross Championship on Sunday. That decision to go in the opposite direction proved popular with the riders, making the going more technical and a little slower. Those ingredients also meant that battles raged right throughout the day in most classes and created several very close finishes!!

There’s another offering of European Championship motocross action at Lower Drayton in Staffordshire this coming Sunday, July 23rd as the Cannock MXC host the home round of the 2023 IMBA Open and MX2 series. And in an event proudly sponsored by FUS in conjunction with Marsh Powersports, Spiral GFX and Anja Potze Fine Jewellery Ltd, this IMBA will pioneer the first ever combined 450F/250F/2T moto’s. In a bid to boost start line numbers, this already appears to be a wise move with riders travelling to Lower Drayton from Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Holland and Switzerland to challenge a very strong GB contingent.

Not only did those riders boost the start line numbers but also add plenty of extra spice to the racing on offer. However, those wildcards did not have it all their own way with some of the AMCA classes producing a story of very much ‘as you were’ and similar finishing positions to the already completed rounds!

With thunderstorms expected to arrive on raceday, it meant that Middlewich MXC, the host club for round 4 of the AMCA British Motocross Championship were faced with a major dilemma regarding track preparation! Should they literally flood the dry, hard surface and then hope the predicted storms fail to materialise or instead get just enough moisture into the ground to control the dust threat whilst hoping for some extra assistance from that big watering can in the sky. Well, thankfully the club got it spot on and went for option one which certainly proved to be the correct choice, being just about sufficient to see the meeting completed with three blocks of racing. The extensive pre-event watering also helped make the track far more technical, creating plenty of monster crazy, deep ruts and offering a whole host of corner entry and exit lines.
