RED BULL PRO NATIONALS – ROUND 2 @ LANDRAKE – POSTPONED UNTIL 24/25TH APRIL

The MCF has announced that due to the ongoing bad weather conditions it has taken the decision to cancel this weekends race meeting.

Matt Bates: “We’ve put such a huge amount of promotion in to this round of the series, especially with local ITV advertising and mailing out to over 200,000 local homes around Cornwall, but if we can’t even drive vehicles on to the paddock (and we’re not in the business of towing trucks in to fields with tractors) then as a group we’re not willing to let everyone take a gamble on their expense and then potentially cancel on the day. I guess that I stand the chance of a negative response as, after all, motocross is supposed to be a sport that will run in all weather – but the fact is our sport has changed and it’s obscenely expensive for all involved when the weather is so bad and at times like this we have to think of riders, fans, landowners and the negative effect on the surrounding areas and villages”.

The second round of the Red Bull Pro Nationals is now rescheduled for the end of the month on the 24/25th April to give the chance for the venue to dry out.
