This Saturday (yes Saturday October 15th) the final round of the 2011 Phoenix Tools Premier Motocross Championship is to take place at Ladram Bay, Nr Otterton in Devon. Even though the MX1 Championship has already been won by John May there is still plenty of action to be seen as Luke Hill on the Maunders Racing Honda only has a slender 42 points advantage over Belgium rider Maarten Cremers on the Phoenix Tools CCM for runner up spot and also lining up will be the likes of Sam Chapman, Luke Blanchard, Ben Harmon, Kelvin Townsend, James Kensington, Ross Keyworth plus many others.
In the St Blazey MX2 Championship things are still wide open at the top with Luke Mellows on the Meredith Suzuki leading the proceedings by a mere 16 points from Jamie Skuse who missed the last round through injury, but he will be back and will be looking to do well as will Wayne Shimell, Harry Snow, Josh Wyatt, Harry Sellwood plus wildcard Luke Hawkins who went well at this venue in 2010 plus many others.
The Petersen Racing Junior Championship is set to go down to the last race as there is just 13 points separating the top two going in to the final round so there is everything to go for. Bill Farleigh has led the Championship most of the season, but has been up against it in the last couple of rounds and has had his lead cut quite considerably by Harvie Templeton-Banks who is on top form at the moment and Michael Rowe who lie second and third respectively and will be a threat as will many others including Jordan Owen, Anthony Milliar, Curtis Hunt to name a few.
In the M D Racing Over 35 Championship this also is far from over as Martyn Tucker knows, any mistakes or mechanical problem could well lose him the title as Tucker goes in to the final round leading Keith Hanson by just 32 points and with 90 points up for grabs anything could happen. Chris Brown who won the last round will be hoping to do the same to consolidate his third place in the Championship, but other riders to look out for will include the likes of Rob Lewis, Mark Roberts, Greg Brooks plus many more. Ladram Bay is an excellent viewing track and has easy parking and will be signposted off the A3052 Exeter to Sidmouth Road at Newton Poppleford with the first race at 10-30am.
