Jamhuri MX Racetrack hosts the second round of the  FIM Africa Central African Challenge (CAC) Motocross Challenge Cup as Kenyan riders take on their Ugandan race adversaries in some hair-raising thrills this weekend.

Having lost to Uganda in the opening round earlier in the year, hosts Kenya will be looking to utilize their home turf advantage in the season-closing regional motocross extravaganza.

CAC Round 2 promises to be a thriller with some of the finest motocross riders from across the region competing for top honours amid high-speed racing, breathtaking jumps, and heart-stopping turns captivating the audience.

Standout riders to watch from the Team Kenya MX50 squad include Armani Amani, Jyaden Weru, and Uhrie Yongo.

In MX65, Kenya will peg their hopes on the likes of Kigen Mutuma, Mathenge Kamundia, and  Dylan Hatanga. Lewis Ogonyi, Wahome Mutahi, and Atete Benzinge are the notable names for Kenya in the MX Lites class.

MX 125 has the usual suspects in Neo Wahome and Tanav Choda while in MX 1 seasoned riders Apollo Mbuki, Walter Kuria and Alex Kandie should be the toast of the Kenyan outfit.

On the Ugandan side, spectators should keep an eye on Jude Musede, Jamairah Makumbi, Faith Deedan (MX50); Jonathan Katende, Isaac Mitima and Ramadhan Mubiru (MX65).

Uganda’s MX Lites team comprises Tabula Malcom Gig, Jerome Mubiru and Ron Young. In MX 125, Uganda have Apollo Milton Obote, Waleed Ali Omar and Jeremiah Mawanda.

Uganda’s MX 2 outfit has Jordan Mukiibi and  Sharifah Kateete while in MX 1, they’ll field Isima Mukiibi, Fatuh Kiggundu and Fortune

Ssentamu. In the MX Vets, the neighbours have entered veteran Ashraf Mbabazi.

The exhilarating sport synonymous with dedication and skill, will take place courtesy of the Motorcycle Sports Federation of Kenya (MSFK) in collaboration with the East African Motor Sports Club. The event has attracted 50 Kenyan motocross riders, 50 Ugandan riders, and 10 riders from Tanzania.

Uganda took the lead in the first round, and delivered a remarkable performance on their home ground, securing a substantial lead with a total of 1,643 points, leaving Kenya in second place on 408 points.
