A spokesperson for Geraldton Motocross Club said round one was a success and they were ready for the season ahead.

“The day ran smoothly despite the wind’s attempt to push us off our bikes. Some bar-to-bar action was witnessed in the three race rounds each class completed today, along with some spills and dirt roosting,” they said.
