Riders relish home ground advantage at �Mantshwabisi�

A team of ten riders led by Ross Branch, Vincent Conlon and Motsumi Lekone who are vying for the Motorsport South Africa (MSA) national championships title, would look to use home ground to their advantage. “The time for preparations is over, this is the time to compete. We have around 10 guys who are using the MSA licence. We are ready to do our level best at the competition,” Lekone said.

Mantshwabisi, as the event is commonly known, will host the Donaldson Cross Country Championship third and fourth rounds. “It is costly to go and compete in South Africa, this is an advantage for us in the sense that we will be doing a double in one weekend. It is a good opportunity to score points,” he said.
