In 2007 Yamaha is enjoying again a very successful world championship motocross season. Joshua Coppins controls the MX1 class with a healthy 89 points margin halfway though the year, while Antonio Cairoli is in a league of his own ruling over the MX2 opposition with eight GP wins out of the nine rounds contested sofar.

The last few weeks have certainly been momentous for Shannon Terreblanche. The South African teenager, who had a somewhat shaky start to his 2007 motocross season due to a pre-season injury, seems to have found his rhythm in weeks gone by, and started qualifying for GP races with some regularity. Not only that, but he produced a solid workmanlike performance in Sweden two weeks ago to claim his first world championship points for the 2007 season.

This past Saturday, the 6th Namibian National MX Champion- ship was held at Gallina in Windhoek. The day started off with Reiner Bekker having to withdraw from the Open Class due to work commitments. That only left Matthew riding for the Zenner Racing team. His day started well, but did not finish as wished.

This past weekend saw a very exciting motocross weekend, not just for Zenner Racing, but for motocross as a whole. 68 riders converged on Gobabis to take advantage of an excellent prepared track and event. A big thank you from our team must go to the organizers, but especially to Tobie Barlow who prepared an excellent track.

please note that Mike has a compression fracture of the 7th vertebrae in his throrax (lower chest) part of his back - it is the same kind of fracture that Fanie Steenkamp had when he fell with his 4wheeler...

finally I am back home after two weeks on the road. After a couple of days in Spain with André Villa and Rino Holm (thanks for the hospitality and especially thanks for letting me help you with all these incountable cubes of foam... ;-) ) I rode at the Masters of Dirt in Innsbruck / Austria. I did my first big gap flips onto a mobile landingsuccesfully and finished in 6 th place in the finals. I also won the whip contest. Yes!

Erhard Pajewski takes the lead in Promini - 2007 Western Cape Regional Championship after an exceptional performance at the 2nd regional held at Killarney this past Saturday. Erhard’s "Johnson’s Yamaha" again was performing brilliantly and unlike last event at Killarney this time he could keep up with the fast 4-strokes on the straights.

Erhard wins the season opener heat in the Promini - 2007 Western Cape Regional Championship held at Melkbos this past Saturday.

Practise started early morning with a overcastted coastal weather, perfect for racing. Erhard’s "Johnson’s Yamaha" is now sorted as you could see during practise when he caught with the riders in front of him running quit a good pace, not as slow as at the last race at Killarney.

Mad Buzz showed their support towards the development of the sport by sponsoring three of the Quad Ladies riders for 2007. The sponsored Mad Buzz energy drinks will provide Celene Adams, Maike Bochert and Liezl Davies with the much needed energy they require to perform during their races.

This past weekend, the second round of the Namibian Championship was held at Gallina track in Windhoek. The weekend did not exactly go as planned, but at least Matthew scored some valuable championship points.
