Molson Kawasaki are happy to announce that Gareth Swanepoel (RSA) has signed a new contract with the British team and the partnership will run into its third year for the 2007 FIM Motocross World Championship.
Today started with the usual warm up sessions but the Grand Prix of Sun City has his own fashion and it came out just before the MX2 first moto. Traditional dancers were performing along the circuit while musicians were playing the best of the local music; the link with motors was kept up by the Red Bull plane making crazy moves on the sky which was above a significant number of spectators, something about 25300 fans during the weekend.
Holiday time is finished and today all riders got to grips with the recently modified circuit of Sun City.
It was quite an ordinary day for Stefan Everts (BEL, Yamaha) who made to clock another pole position. His 1.50.400 laptime was 81 thousandths faster than countryman Steve Ramon (BEL, Suzuki), with who he had a hard battle during the second moto in Sweden.
Current Red Bull KTM motocross rider Jonathan Barragan last week signed a new contract to represent the company in the FIM MX1 World Championship for another two years. The soon-to-be 21 year old has been riding in ‘orange’ since 2001 and will now extend his association to eight seasons.
