Daniel Sanders (E3) and Kirk Hutton (Masters) have already wrapped up their respective championships in the previous rounds in South Australia.

Whilst on the Junior scene Black Hollis returns from injury in a bid to win the J4 Championship from current leader Mackenzie Johnson. Riley McGillivray (J3) and Billy Hargy (J2) will look to hold on to their class leads as they strive for gold.

A second cross country for the year will welcome riders for Saturday’s racing. Juniors will kick off racing from 7:30am with Seniors (Masters, Women & two stroke cup) from 11:00am and the E1, E2, E3, EJ and Vets class from 1:30 in a three-hour battle.
