Branch loses African motocross title

He won the title last year in Kenya but disappointedly lost it on home soil to South African David ‘Goose’ Goosen, who had a great weekend in the MX1 category.

Branch had a bad weekend as on Saturday in the heats he had a problem with the start, as he sat on the gate, about to bang bars on the holeshot. He recovered well and showed great speed scoring one of the fastest lap times of the event. Earlier on Sunday, Branch was confidently leading the pack but crashed on a curve allowing his opponents to take advantage.
