New Zealand WINS Bledisloe Cup of Motorcycling.

New Zealand achieved a significant win over Australia at the Oceania Motocross held at the Gillies and Marks Motocross Park, Riverstone Terraces, just south of Upper Hutt today, 15 Dec.

In the hot dry conditions, the track was challenging and became dusty as the day went on.

\"This was probably the most challenging track I have ridden on in New Zealand,\" commented Darryll King.

New Zealand’s top riders dominated both senior classes with Cody Cooper winning the 125cc class and Darryll King the 250cc/Open class.

We saw outstanding rides from both Darryll and Shayne King, the ride of the day came from Corrie Sargent.
