2027 Motocross of Nations to be hosted in the Netherlands
The TT Circuit Assen in the Drenthe region of the Netherlands will host the 80th edition of the Motocross of Nations (MXoN), marking the 10th time the event has been held on Dutch soil, according to an announcement made by Infront Moto, the promoter of the international race. The first race of the iconic series was raced at Wassenaar in 1947, with Great Britain victorious. "We are proud to bring the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations back to Assen in 2027," said David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto. "The previous edition at this legendary venue left a lasting impression on fans and teams alike, and the Netherlands has always played a key role in the history of our sport. Advertisement "Hosting the 80th edition of this iconic event at such an iconic circuit is the perfect combination." Assen most recently hosted the MXoN when the home team of Jeffrey Herlings, Calvin Vlaanderen, and Glenn Coldenhoff won the event on a muddy track in 2019. The United States team finished sixth that year. The circuit will be built on top of the tarmac of the circuit's final corners and pit lane complex, with the local area's sand being an integral part of the design. "It's truly exciting to see the continued evolution and professionalization of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations," said Antonio Alia, FIM / CMS Director. "Returning to the Netherlands in 2027 brings back memories of an unforgettable edition in Assen, where, despite difficult weather, the organization, facilities, and teamwork demonstrated what's possible when everyone works together at the highest level. With the support of the KNMV [the local organizer] and the experienced team behind the 2019 success, we're confident that 2027 will not only meet expectations but help set new standards for the future of this great event."

Painful Silverstone race for Ruche Moodley
Ruche Moodley made a welcome return to the Moto3 world championship at Silverstone after missing the sixth round, having fractured the radius in his right arm in round five. The 18-year-old Gqeberha rider was given the green light to race in the Silverstone Grand Prix by the FIM medical team. 'I was really happy when the FIM medical team gave me clearance to race this weekend, as I was really frustrated watching the French GP from my couch at home, and it's great to be back on the bike,' Moodley said. 'I have been training almost from the day I got back from the hospital, so I knew my fitness wasn't going to be a problem. But my arm was still quite sore.' The weekend started in a positive manner as Moodley felt good on the bike and delivered competitive lap times, despite still nursing his injured dominant arm. He had a steady qualifying session, managing his tyres and the pain in his arm to place his BOE Motorsports machine in 21st position in the huge Moto3 field. He also had to serve a double long-lap penalty for his role in an incident at the Spanish Grand Prix, which resulted in the fractured arm, so he had a mountain to climb. 'Silverstone is such a high-speed circuit, both with long straights and fast, flowing corners,' Moodley said. 'It really is a physical track that demands a lot of riders. So, we had made a decision that I would stay out of trouble on the opening laps. 'If I crashed or was taken out, my penalty laps would be carried over to the next race. 'So, I took it easy at the start and dropped a few positions on the opening lap. 'This race, for me, was all about getting to the finish line more than anything else. 'I took my penalty laps early in the race, on laps two and three, as I figured the field would be most bunched up then. 'With those two laps done, I kept my head down. I had to focus on the track and getting to the end. 'I struggled later on because I lost a lot of feeling in my arm. It started to feel numb, so it was difficult to feel what the bike was doing. 'I don't have the strength that I had before to muscle the bike around, since I could only start moving my arm in the week leading up to the race. It was immobilised for three weeks and lost strength.' Moodley had a rather lonely race as the front pack set a blistering pace. He steadily worked his way up from 24th to finish 20th when the checkered flag was waved. 'That felt like the longest race of my life. In the second part of the race, I was pretty much on my own, just counting down the laps. 'I was trying not to think about the pain, I was really glad to see the checkered flag. 'The plan now is to build up the strength in my hand. 'I will be much stronger in two weeks when we get to Aragon. I am looking forward to riding that incredible circuit,' he said. The Herald

Safari Rally to offer African riders exciting opportunities
South Africa is preparing to make motorsport history from May 18 to 22 as it hosts its first round of the World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC), the prestigious SA Safari Rally. This landmark event signifies a significant milestone for South African motorsport and places Africa on the global Rally-Raid map. The rally, traversing some of the country's most rugged and breathtaking landscapes, will test the endurance, navigation, and technical skills of global competitors, elite factory teams, and top-tier talent. 'This is more than a race,' said Gillian Dykes, FIM Africa director and a member of the FIM Cross Country Commission. 'It showcases Africa's natural beauty, our organisational capacity, and the local talent. For many African riders, this event could be their long-awaited gateway to Dakar, without the financial and logistical barriers of competing abroad.' Confirmed in the bike category are homegrown talents such as Dwain Barnard, Mauritz Meiring, Ruan Burger, and Carien Teessen, who will compete against international stars like Ricky Brabec, Skyler Howes, Adrien van Beveren, and world champion Ross Branch from Botswana. The presence of factory giants like Honda, KTM, and Hero ensures South Africa will witness Rally-Raid action of the highest calibre. 'This rally is a game-changer,' said Vic Maharaj, CEO of Motorsport South Africa. 'It is not only a chance for African riders to earn valuable W2RC points and Dakar eligibility – it's also a major boost for local tourism, investment, and the motorsport industry.' Organiser Archie Rutherford confirmed preparations are on track. 'We are building this to world-class standards – logistics, route planning, safety, and including the media. The response from both public and private sectors has been phenomenal.' The confirmed attendance of FIM president Jorge Viegas and the FIM Africa president underscores the rally's global importance. 'Having the FIM president attend shows how much this event matters. It is a vote of confidence in African motorsport and local organisers, officials, and volunteers working tirelessly behind the scenes,' said Dykes. Dykes is excited about the upcoming Continental Training Session between May 14 and 15, which will precede the Safari Rally. This two-day technical seminar, led by Argentina's Andres Zalazar from the FIM Technical Commission, is targeted at FIM Africa and MSA officials and will focus on machine compliance, safety gear, and environmental responsibility. 'We need a formal commission, proper collaboration with FIA's car division, and strong sponsorship. This kind of motorsport is expensive, and it needs buy-in from the government and the private sector.' At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
