World MX: Swedish Summer Mashup
31 July 2008
Sweden. The country that brought us ABBA and IKEA and Swedish meatballs, the Saab and the Volvo and Absolut, plays host to the first round of the second half of the season at the spectacular Uddevalla track. The Glimminge Motorstadion is a multi-functional venue tucked into the mountainside between Uddevalla and the two towns of Vänersborg and Trollhättan and it features enduro, karting and of course, motocross.

World MX: British Grand Prix Blasts Mallory Park
10 June 2008
When it was first announced that the British Motocross Grand Prix was going to Mallory Park in Leicestershire, I was sceptical. Mallory Park is after all recognised more for its road-race circuit than motocross. Of course, there is space for a motocross track because a track already exists, but my concerns were more about the camping and the all-too-notorious traffic. After several phone calls between the promoter RHL Activities and myself, which promised that traffic and camping were taken care of, I felt somewhat more positive. And then, months later, on Saturday the last day of May, I find myself cautiously driving down Kirkby Mallory's Church Road to Mallory Park.

World MX: Damp Italian Grand Prix Delivers Surprise Results
26 May 2008
When you think about Italy you probably think about Roman ruins, old palazzos and cobbled streets. And wine and pasta and sunshine, fashion, fast cars and fast bikes. And hard-baked, sun-burnt ground. Not sand. Mantova, or Mantua in the local Lombardian dialect, is a fantastic old city in the south east corner of Lombardia, and it hosts the annual Mantova Starcross, one of the three or so races that comprise the pre-season in motocross. The track is in walking distance from Mantova's second-most famous landmark, the Palazzo Te, and it is, quite literally, Italy's sandbox.

World MX: Blazing Action Ignites Championship In Portugal
02 May 2008
What a difference a week makes. Last week it was rain and mud, this week it is literally summer weather that belongs in July. But – who are we to complain? Better this than pouring rain, miserable riders and miserable spectators. Águeda, a sleepy market town in the north-west of Portugal and a scant hour from the hustle and bustle of Porto, hosts the third round of the World Motocross Championship, and the complete turnabout of the weather pleasantly surprises everyone. Hot and dry from mid-week onwards, the temperatures peak on Saturday where the mercury hits 32 degrees centigrade and prompts the use of anything that can keep the temperatures down.
