Inclement weather marred the weekend a little as the 2013 British Motocross Championship came to Northern Ireland this weekend, but there was plenty of great racing action to distract the fans.
Raptor Titanium rider Bryan Mackenzie took his first ever overall MX2 win in the British Championship after many years of trying ahead of ahead of Martin Barr on the VMX KTM who was overall second with the overall winner at Foxhills, Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Neville Bradshaw taking overall third.
In MX1 Matiss Karro showed utter domination here as went 1-1-1 to take a resounding overall victory, the Raptor Titanium sponsored rider from STR KTM beat injured red plate holder Tanel Leok who was overall second to keep himself in the hunt after a collarbone fracture at Foxhills. On-from Kristian Whatley from MBO Yamaha had some bad starts and put the pressure on himself but recovered well.
Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Robert Davidson of MJW Kawasaki also took the MXY2 British Championship as well, many congratulations to him and the team that have worked so hard this year.

His team-mate Jeremy Van Horebeek secured another strong performance going overall fourth, his best result this year and more evidence he is very close to taking a podium spot and maybe even some race wins this year.
Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Tommy Searle flew the British flag and took a hard-earned overall seventh place in the blistering Italian heat, ahead of Xavier Boog in overall ninth on the Raptor Titanium equipped Ice One Racing KTM machine.

Ernée Results: 2013 MXGP World Championship Round 8
The 2013 MXGP World Championship headed back into Europe once again this weekend to the track at Ernée in the North-West of France.
Home-crowd favourites and Raptor Titanium sponsored riders Dylan Ferrandis of Rockstar Bud Racing Kawasaki and Gautier Paulin of the Factory Kawasaki Racing Team both took excellent second place podium finishes in both MX1 and MX2 classes behind the dominant KTM Red Bull riders.
Paulin took the race win in race one, but traffic in the second race cost him the overall victory with Cairoli proving to be too strong on the day as well. Fellow KRT rider Jeremy Van Horebeek took a solid overall fifth showing signs of how he is progressing, aiming at podium place finishes in the second half of the season particularly in the sand tracks of Eastern Europe he specialises in.
CLS Pro Circuit Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Tommy Searle grabbed overall fourth to show further improvement for him.
Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Dylan Ferrandis put in a textbook solid performance, keeping out of trouble and steering his Bud Racing KX-250F to the second step of the overall podium in MX2.
Standing Construct KTM rider Glenn Coldenhoff on Raptor Titanium footpegs kept it consistent in the top ten with eighth overall in MX2.

2013 British Championship: Foxhills
It was another brilliant day at the Maxxis British Motocross Championship as the sun came out and the racing around the classic track at Foxhills was spectacular.
Raptor Titanium sponsored riders dominated the top of the results once again in both classes as MX2 points leader Elliott Banks-Browne of HM Plant KTM UK kept it consistent and the red plate remains his after dealing with a few technical scares he came through with overall third.
Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Dean Ferris of the Monster Energy Yamaha outfit rode a wildcard entry at the event and shook things up from the word go, pressuring Banks-Browne until the last corner in the first race before having a crash and trailing in the second before a spectacular turnaround in the combined superfinal to go first in the MX2 division in that race.

Neville Bradshaw took the top step of the podium overall after a very strong day's racing ahead of LPE Kawasaki's Bryan Mackenzie who also looked in control around the astonishingly fast circuit.
It was HM KTM UK rider Steven Clarke though who grabbed the most attention as he stormed to victory in the second race, showing a very bright future for him.
The HM Plant KTM UK brothers Nathan and Ben Watson showed more signs of improvement with strong performances and gritty determination in the mix with the best of the British Championship.

It was intensive battling in MX1 as well with KTM STR riders Mattis Karro and Jonathan Barragan taking the second and third overall podium spots behind MBO Yamaha's Kristian Whatley who proved to be very strong on the day.
Buildbase Honda and Raptor Titanium sponsored riders Adam Chatfield and Nicholas Aubin took overall fifth and fourth respectively.
The shock of the day was the MX1 red plate holder and Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Tanel Leok suffering a broken collar bone halfway round the first lap of the first MX1 race. It is not clear if the MVR-D Honda rider is out for the remainder of the season at this point.

2013 Erzberg Rodeo, Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Graham Jarvis takes victory
More atrocious conditions than ever were the backdrop for this year's Ezberg Rodeo Extreme Enduro as snow and heavy rain created a near-impossible course for the riders to negotiate, making the world's toughest one-day race even tougher!
It was D3 Husaberg and our sponsored rider Graham Jarvis who prevailed after providing a master-class in how to overcome such difficult terrain, picking off the competition one-by-one from a less-than-ideal gate position to leave nobody in doubt he was definitely this year's deserving champion after several years of bad luck on the Iron Giant.
Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Jonny Walker on the Factory KTM Off Road Racing machine could not have had a more different day, and after a convincing win in 2012 he was certainly the favourite to clinch it again this weekend. Off the start he hit deep water where his bike was drowned for over five minutes, and with it his chances of catching the leading pack. Though a disappointing result for Walker after he coveted the win, fourth is still an excellent achievement against such demanding obstacles.
