KAMPALA- The fourth round of the Mountain Dew MX Championship is set for Victoria Race Track Garuga today. The event also doubles as Buggy National Championship.

The absence of the Orland siblings Alon (MX65cc), Stav (MX85cc) and Aviv (MX125) will deprive the fans of excitement but there would no shortage of competitiveness as riders try to collect points for national titles in all categories at the half way mark of the season.

The battle for supremacy between the quartet; William Blick Jr, Miguel Katende, Pascal Kasozi and Ramathan Mubiru in MX50cc is one to watch at Garuga. Forty eight points separate Blick Jr in the first place with Mubiru in the fourth place.

Early this week, Lubega (Tall Man), father to 9- year Old Kasozi was confident his son will come out top in MX50cc.
He said he has already beaten Katende this season and he gunning for Blick Jr. The absence of Aviv in MX125 cc opens up a new contest between Ali ‘Bobo’ Omar and Fortune Ssentamu. Bobo, the reigning champions has a lot of catching up after missing the opening three rounds through injury.

Elsewhere, Gift Ssebuguzi and Maxime van Pee are the riders to beat in MX65cc and MX1 respectively.

In the Buggy Championship, the showdown between Arthur Blick Jr and Ponsiano ‘Mafu Mafu’ Lwakataka is expected to bring fans to their feet. Other pairing are brothers Musa Nsubuga and Hussein Mukuye, Bobo vs Alesteir Blick and Wazir Omar vs Paddy Blick.
