Earlier in the week, teenager Maxime vowed to upstage the veterans and run away with the prize money. &#8220;Two weeks ago in Masaka, I beat Blick Jr and I intend to do the same this time round,&#8221; a confident Maxime told Sunday Monitor. He added: &#8220;I will prove that I am ready to rule this class (MXI).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maxime&#8217;s confidence cannot be doubted as he lies second in the championship, 17 points behind Blick Jr after two rounds. Blick Jr, equally excited about the challenge acknowledged the threat from Maxime. &#8220;He is a much improved rider, young and daring.<\/p>\n<p>A bright future awaits him. But at the moment, I will do what I do best to win. I am on a mission to win my second successive hat-trick of titles and ninth in total,&#8221; he said. A cool Shs500,000 is at stake for the winner of the Boda-Boda race.<\/p>\n<p>Spartasec Ltd, Blue Sky International Ltd, International Air Ambulance, Fotogenix, Versus Automation Systems, All Seasons Event and CBSFM are the sponsors of the event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mx1 Standings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Blick Jr 147 points<\/p>\n<p>Maxim Van Pee 130<\/p>\n<p>Unissan Bakunda 119<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201105230096.html\" title=\"Uganda: Three-Man Showdown At Mx Championship\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Uganda: Three-Man Showdown At Mx Championship<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Fredrick Musisi Kiyingi 22 May 2011 The third round National MX Championship at the Uganda Motorsports Arena (UMA) Busiika today will be dominated by MX1 showdown between Arthur Blick Jr, Asaf Natan and 17-year-old Maxime Van Pee.
