Following over 10 years of Motul MX Nationals competition at Broadford, this year’s visit on 1 May will mark the 11th and final Australian motocross championship event at the State Motorcycle Sports Complex in Victoria.

In just over seven days the venue will once again throw open the gates and welcome teams, competitors, and of course motocross fans, for an action packed third round to farewell the iconic circuit.

Motul MX Nationals Series Promoter Kevin Williams shared that whilst it will be the end of an era, the Williams Event Management team is still looking forward to visiting the historic venue next weekend.

“Some of my fondest memories of running the motocross are at Broadford in Victoria,” said Williams. “This will be our 11th time that we have visited the venue and with such a talent rich championship this year, it’s very fitting that 2016 marks our final visit.

“We are currently in our 20th anniversary year of managing the championship, and more than half of those years have been spent visiting Broadford, which is pretty special really.

“Next weekend will be the last time that the MX Nationals hosts a round at the State Motorcycling Complex, and while it is the end of a very historic era, we are excited to add a new venue to our calendar in 2017.”
