Kawasaki Racing Team’s Billy Mackenzie scored sixth position at a chilly and windy Moneyglass Demesne circuit for the Grand Prix of Northern Ireland and the thirteenth round of fifteen in the FIM MX1 Motocross World Championship. Tanel Leok unfortunately could not pick up any points as the season begins a rapid countdown. The new racetrack at Moneyglass Demesne had been principally created with a view towards the 2008 Motocross of Nations. The venue did not enjoy the kindest of inaugurations as heavy rainfall on Friday and Saturday forced the organisers to cancel most of Saturday’s practice sessions.
