Kampala \u2014 After the weekend’s entertainment by drivers in the KCB Pearl Rally, focus turns to two wheels with the fifth round of MX Championship at Busiika Arena on Sunday.<\/p>\n

With the departure of Maxime Van Pee to UK for studies, the MX1 rivalry will now be between eight times national champion Arthur Blick Jr and Asaf Natan, who has won the title twice.<\/p>\n

Bryan Tumusiime, the manager of the Arena, told the Daily Monitor that they have again modified the track. “We have put up a big jump with a length of 150ft and height 11ft. Even the finishing jump has been modified and we have also added more stretches,” Tumisiime said.<\/p>\n

The Garuga race track previously had the longest jump with 120ft. This will also be the pre-summer race as the riders take a break until September for round number six.<\/p>\n

Family duel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from the MX1 rivalry, the ‘war’ will be between the Blick Jr and Ali Omar families in 50cc and 65cc categories.Paddy Blick leads the 50cc class with 266 points, one ahead of Wazir Omar Ali. In the 65cc, Ali Omar Yasser has 276 points – 14 ahead of Alistair Blick. The Boda boda race will again be on the programme and the winner will walk away with Shs500, 000. Kiggundu brothers Talha and Fathu will also go head to head in MX2 class.<\/p>\n
